You're right - that scene is set on an airfield in France, RAF personnel and ground crew but French troops. It's difficult to be certain but I don't think they are SMLEs - the stock seems to finish a short distance back from the muzzle. This is wrong, of course, for the SMLE but would fit the No.4 variant, or alternatively the various correct French rifles (MAS36, Berthier ?). IKD 24 Feb 2011 | |||
