In this section we are showing some the varied types of collections that have been built up by our members.
Keith, one of the modellers in our Group, has forwarded some images (below) of some of his vast collection of scale model aircraft. Our Group has members with a large cross section of interests which include modellers as well as collectors of military equipment, badges, uniforms, books etc. Some members do not collect but have a fascination with the military subject and enjoy the lectures at each meeting.

David Gray, below, has been collecting items relating to the National Savings Movement in the Second World War. This is an unusual subject and not well collected, and because of that there is a great deal to learn about it.

Another of our members is interested in collecting items made in the UK for issue to American troops under the Reverse Lend Lease Program. All of the webbing seen here is British made, but would have been mixed with other US made equipment when worn.
The 'Jerry' cans were produced in the UK by the Magnatex Factory.
This collector is always looking for more examples of UK produced, Reverse Lend Lease equipment to add to his collection. If you can help, please get in touch through the 'Contact Us' page.
