Today is the final day of the amnesty for five different models of the Italian Bruni blank-firing pistols. We have used these seven for TV and theatre work over the years but we took them to the local Police Station today to be cut up and go in the melting pot. #TakeYoursToo !

Happy 101st Birthday, Mervyn! We provided the wartime uniform for his ‘wartime self’ in the National VE Day Commemoration film in May, seen standing next to Mervyn here. Delighted that we were able to play a part. Have a wonderful time, Mervyn! 🍻

Paul was an old friend of ours too. He had been in many film and television productions made at our @khakidevil trenches, and was always happy to help out behind the scenes too. Cheerio, Fella.
Today we learned one our old friends, Paul, has died. RIP old chum, we will miss the banter.

We recognise that pump-action shotgun! 😊👍🏻
We're turning into proper gun-tubers now. Shotguns in the Great war weren't great. If you came up against them. https://t.co/Ps8LDKYIHA

@Nickleh @FightingOnFilm @WeHaveWaysPod This short documentary from RTE on the role of the Irish weather stations has more accuracy in one scene than that! @khakidevil

Neither can we, Mark - although our German equipment is still in quarantine!! 🤣
I genuinely can't wait for this! Season 1 was superb!

We were all delighted to have played such an important part in @DowntonAbbey Series 2; providing uniforms, equipment, weapons, props, military historical advice and, of course, trenches! A pleasure to work alongside @AlastairBruce_ too of course. 🙂

The true spirit of Christmas, courtesy of the ever-reliable @khakidevil, and the incomparable Brian Pern & Thotch. All the best, chums.
The annual festive tradition is upon us… the sharing of the most amazing Christmas song ever made (probably). Rock Legend, Brian Pern, and his super group Thotch, told the true story of Christmas 1914 in their No.1 best-seller - “I Wish I Was at Home With My Missus” 🎄🎄😬🎄🎄

We are very, very sorry to see that Vicky’s Grandad Ralph has died. Together they made a wonderful programme about his return to Normandy in 2023, which we were delighted to play a part in. Rest in Peace, Ralph x

It’s always great to work with @bbcdoctorwho ! We had a great time kitting everyone out for the 1914 Truce storyline for Christmas 2017!
I was asked to give advice on the colours of some of the uniforms, equipment, insignia and medal ribbons for this. Needless to say, I was delighted to help the team turn the 1969 black and white version into colour! @khakidevil
