Beach Commando title
 
A request for help from someone with requisite computer skills. Last Sunday's Antique Road Show (available on BBC TV iplayer) included - at about the 40 minute point - a QA's scarlet lined grey cape covered in formation and other signs. Only two-thirds of the cape was visible on screen. At one point (s 42 mins) it is possible to see - at the top right of the screen image a shoulder title reading BEACH COMMANDO. That's something I have never seen before. I would be very grateful if someone with the skills could capture a screenshot of that corner of the cape? Thanks. Mike

Cancel this plea for help. On closer examination the title reads BEACH ORDNANCE. Sorry to have created alarm amongst collectors! Mike

Yes I recognised it as 'BEACH ORDNANCE' but was already corrected here before I read it.

Interesting. I saw the programme and also thought it read Beach Commando.

I had to live re-wind and view it again before I was sure.

"The wish being father to the thought!" It's a pity we didn't see the other half of the cape. Mike

I thought it strange that the presenter raved about the Kriegsmarine trade badges but didn't seem to notice the Chindit formation sign.

I would be interested to know the circumstances in which the two types of badges could be found in the same theatre.
