Hate to mention this, but Polish Para berets were a sort of khaki grey, not blue.

Yes, I have seen a couple of colour pics and from a museum (faded to very light grey), so gave client the option of colours. These are actually not as blue as they look in the pictures (lighting)

Lovely stuff, Phil!

Yeah, I've seen a couple of surviving examples and always thought they looked the same colour as a 'field-faded' RAF beret.

Yep, agree there Mark, The bluer (is that a word) grey seemed to look nicer than the light field grey
