Bonjour. Mon nom est Trevor Couch et je suis un soldat de l'Australie. Je suis un sous-officier des opérations dans une unité de l'aviation. Je collectionne les Etats-Unis la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la Corée et les uniformes de l'époque du Vietnam et de l'équipement. Je suis un tireur passionné et collectionneur passionné. Je réside à Townsville et nous mettons en place un groupe de militaires sociale sans les contraintes d'unités spécifiées ou de thèmes. Un environement libre où les collectionneurs peuvent afficher leur penchant pour une unité ou un service particulier.
G'day!! My name is Trevor Couch and I am a soldier from Australia. I am an Operations NCO in an Aviation unit. I collect US WWII, Korea and Vietnam era uniforms and equipment. I am an avid shooter and passionate collector. I reside in Townsville and we are establishing a military social group without the restraints of specified units or themes. A free enviroment where collectors can display their penchant for any particular unit or service. I presently have a broad range of reproduction and original kit across a wide range of impressions. As you all know, any combination of UK or USA kit will see you right for a half decent Indochina War impression. My present impressions are:
82nd Airborne - 505th PIR - SSGT (Field & Dress Uniforms)
1st Marine Div - SGT (Field and Dress Uniforms)
USAAF 5th AAF CAPT - (Flight gear and dress uniforms)
Luftwaffe Pilot - (Flying ensemble only - Schwimmweste)
RAAF SGT Air Gunner - (Flying ensemble only)
RAF SQN LDR Pilot - (SD only)
No. 10 Commando - Free Dutch SGT (Field is the Dress Uniform?)
1st Airborne Ranger Coy Korea - SGT (Field and Dress Uniforms)
Early SF Advisor - Field uniform, gear and weapons only
1st SFGA Vietnam SSGT - Field uniform(s) gear and weapons only
My Indochina era impressions are set to the field gear from ATF and WPG. I have a repro black Commando Nord outfit with beret. And I have recently completed a BPPC blouson and trousers set. I secured a large sized (44+) set in mint condition for the princely sum of $22? 1953 dated and impossible to fault. Colonial Marine is the way I have directed my insignia etc. I have a few original Commando Nord badges and a Commando 18 badge. Original headgear and rank is slowly accumulating in my French draw. Secured a mint 81e Regiment de Infanterie losange and galons the other day for a Free French/US Army dress jacket. But it is just too good to use.
Presently filling the Operations WO2 slot at 5th Aviation Regiment in Australia. I am a combat patched veteran of your 101st, serving with HHC 5-101 in Kandahar a few years back. Likely to rotate in again next year; however, the old boys network is sliding in HQ staff two ranks higher than required to sort out the old boys? Stumbled onto the forum; shall certainly get to know a few of you. Ass is glued to the chair after I run around after officers all day.
Bonne chance!!
