    You are a GR7 pilot and I claim my £5 reward!

    I know we were running short of cash in the defence budget but trying to buy second-hand kit on t'internet before deploying to Kandahar is really quite alarming!

    My mate's an ex-squipper so I'll ask if he nicked anything before he left.
    Cheers,

    I always fancied one of the kites designed for lifting the aerial for dinghy wireless.

    I think my Grandpa had an old bomber raft+kit that he bought at the end of the war.

    Cheers,

    Hi I have pretty much what's already been offered,

    cheers anyway.

    For those asking what the kit is for, I do Bushcraft/survival Demo's and have a display case with various bits in that people like to look at often conversations cover survival kit when I'm doing demos so it's handy to have kit to hand I can demonstrate.
