I had a pair of B2s made up for me and use three pairs of NATO woven puttees stitched together. Far, far better than any repro puttees. I avoid using original kit where I can.

We have four different buildings that are the sole surviving examples of their type in the world. All straight out of the Royal Engineers Constructions, European Theatre, 1913-1919. Plus we have 19 other buildings!

Good to know! We are a #museum first, all about the collections, before we are an airfield. That doesn't mean we're not Wing-mad, though! We have some of the rarest aircraft in the world...
