SPODE UNIFORM REFERENCES

Following on from THIS POST on Edward VIII uniform references, together with THIS POST on Oswald Mosley uniform references, Roderick Spode clearly deserves a "Uniform References" post of his own:


Two stills of Spode in mid - rant : khaki tan shirt with red epaulettes, black tie, black shoulder belt, red lanyard and red brassard with "Blackshort" flash. 




Spode addresses an outdoor meeting. Black shorts and leather waist belt, tan knee-length (of course!) socks, black boots. Note drums and drummer boys, fasces on standards, bare headed followers dressed in identical style.

28mm versions - Eustace Spode, Roderick Spode's brother, with HQ Section (JP's Blackshorts)

The Blackshort "Flash" and flag was similar, but not identical to, the BUF flash and standard. Here is the Blackshort version:
 

Below - a YouTube video of a uniformed Spode and formidable section of Blackshort regulars (as interrupted by Bertie Wooster and Bentley):
