Default Airborne BD

This is our old mate who pumps out the fake headgear - seems he's moved into uniforms now. The person that assembled that couldn't even be bothered removing the cotton threads from the RA titles where they'd been sewn to something else.

The badges are not even sewn on straight! The BSM would have had something to say about that.

Default Airborne RA BD top

I’m glad it is so badly put together, as it should alert the most naive collector that it is wrong. Any BSM would have had a screaming fit over the stitching and the badge alignment and it would have lasted for about 5 seconds.....

Even the BD top looks unlike any British issue I have seen, so suspect all round.

Is he ever challenged about the authenticity of his gear?
