When I was over in England, I found a paratroopers museum located
in Farnburough. They have a GPW there rigged for airdrop, along with quite a few
other paratrooper equipment. I cant remember exactly what the base it was on
(maybe someone over there can refresh my mind). I have some pics of it scanned
if anyone wants them. Just e-mail me direct & Ill send them off. I also noticed
that it still had at least one of the original Ford manufactured tires on it.

Also, if anyone gets a chance to go over to England, go see the
aviation museum at Duxford. It is awesome! There's also quite a few MV's there
that Ive only seen in Mil veh books, and never though I ever see in person.

Just my input
