    What we take for granted in the Movies

    Since leaving The Parachute Regiment a close friend of mine Paul Biddiss, has gone from strength to strength with his knowledge of weapons and tactics.
    So much so that he is the man to have when you are either an accomplished film producer or an up and coming one.
    In war scenes, he takes one side right through their dress/weaponry and tactics from side arms to field artillery, and then the same gang of between 50 to 100+ do the opposing sides kit.
    A real achievement for him as I know his life has been full of up hill struggles after 22 years in the Regiment..........well done Paul looking forward to the two latest movies with my critique pad ready!! Here are a few of the old and current film set pieces, FURY was outstanding with all the American pieces to learn from WW2 including the trusty old Sherman tank
