    ...is the title of a book by Col John Weeks. Chris:)

    Thanks Chris, but I've got that one. The book I'm thinking of was resistance-related, but I can't remember the title for the life of me.

    There is a willow museum and history centre - I went there a couple of years ago and it was surprisingly interesting, they have a selection of military products as I recall. I will try and find the link for you, its just outside Taunton in Somerset.

    Its run by Coates', chances are they grew the willow your basket is made from!

    I have an outer (I think) in my garage if anyone wants to make me an offer.

    It is in reasonable condition for its age.

    Probably best collected from Bedfordshire.


    Cheers

    Thanks Lawrence for the photographs...

    What is worth it? That is difficult to tell. I think , just as much as someone want to give for it and that that amounth give's you a good feeling...
