Cool The Nissen hut lives on!

I could hardly believe this when I found it!
GTEvans Nissen Sheds

So the prospect of my own re-enactment wireless station out the back looms ever closer.....

Talking Re: The Nissen hut lives on!

No, no, Gordon - surely you've got to have one with genuine WWII provenance ?

These ersatz ones will not be steeped in history - why, the advert doesn't even show them as coming with optional pot-bellied stove......

Ach, a couple of DIY brick facades using recycled period firebricks, and no-one will be any the wiser!
Come to think of it Martin, I know of a site where the original corrugated iron from a dismantled wartime Nissen hut still lies, carefully stacked....
