Thanks Thomas!

On the movie you can see Arie Noot wore a 2ndSAS shoulder title and the Dutch nationality lion patch. He wears the standard British para wings on right arm and has a maroon beret with a white metal Army Air Corps badge. The SAS was part of the AAC. As to webbing he also has the twin pouch for the m1911 colt 45 magazines.
Arie was very thankful to the RAF pilot who noticed the reception committee with the Eureka beacon used the wrong letter signal. When the plane turned back to England the Germans started firing! That coolness has saved his life!

Cheers
JB
