Three new additions to my collection!




While I'm on my vacation, i picked up these three pieces, One is a ww2 wool blanket, the other is a ww2 british mess tin, but it is the exact same as the canadian ones, and the same as the pattern 51 ones so it will be a good placeholder, got these both at an antique shop (Heirlooms Antiques, Vernon BC, still one of my favorite shops) and the other item is a pair of Pattern 51 basic pouches got these at a surplus store.






BB&B issue three

actually visited this location a few days after my last BB&B post, but did not get a chance to upload it.

It's at the seaplane base, and I've been told that they are second world war buildings (And they look like it) and also on the shitipeida article on the coastal defense around Rupert it lists one at the seaplane base, but other than that, I have no idea what this was used for. Sorry about the mess with the pictures, it uploaded them the red brick ones were probably for storage and as for the concrete structure, I really am not sure what to say about it, I mean it has no entrances that I can see, so it beats me as to what it was for
