Hi all,
does anyone remember a tv show about a year ago on the discovery or history channels on sky tv about a british guy who was an ex para who bought and sold world war two militaria, he restored a hertzer and a swimmerwagen and had two guys that were twins doing alot of the heavy work on the vehicles. i think he even managed to pick up a famo and trailer as well as a hanomag for restoring and selling on if i recall correctly.
he also took part in the d-day commemorative parachute jump and his mate landed badly and ended up with a spinal injury in the last episode of the show.
if anyone can remember the name of the show or any other information can you let me know, thanks.

Fun series.
Amazingly, I believe Hetzer has ended up in Cairns, Australia.
