Couldn't he have just changed the colour of the mine tape on his wagon and offered to help?

Well it is slightly better than the ones made for training purposes. I remember seeing a movie on SADCHAP sighting a workshop. It revolved around some officer poncing about 9mm pistol in hand being followed around by a few overweight SNCOs cammed and tooled up to the nuggins. 80s vintage as I remember it.

IIRC, the film was called "Let's Crack On". Featuring 6 Armd Wksp and the OC (sadly deceased in an RTA during Granby) whose favorite expression was .... Let's crack on. I seem to remember some painfully luvvy types and an SSVC minder spending a week or so with the MRG during one of the major BAOR FTXs. I've still got a scar on my scalp from the tin hat. And, no, the 9mm wasn't wooden! I must see whether I still have a copy in the garage.

Thats the one.

Looks like an interesting (and well made) film.

Seems that the producers need some cash to finish it.

Cash? Not REME then! A couple of yellow handbags should sort it.
