Trouble is in a mediocre emergency at best you will be arrested-at worst,shot!

Transmitting without a licence is illegal and also you are probably screwing up somebody else's equipment. The radio spectrum is crowded these days and there are really no 'free' areas.
Get licensed or stop transmitting, the penalties when you are caught are severe and you probably don't need a criminal record.
Hi Ian...
you are right i dont use my clansmans only in emergencies or in private land...i know clansmans use old military frequencies that are not being used....i do got a licence to use proper radios as i do security...my friend its a police officer...well 3 ov them so i do get information from them as i cant allow to have a criminal record and definetly dont want one...its important that everything its under legal surcumstances whats for me very important.There is civilian Cb licence i can get and i did thought to get that anyway as would be a good idea.Thanks for your thoughts Ian.Take Care

But the need for NBC is going to be limited use in the UK, CS during civil disruption more likely.

Attack Warning Red
Re: Packs,Gas Masks,Radios
NDF - I love the S10, it's probably an icon. I don't have one myself, but recently got myself an unused, good-as-new S6, which is a very comfy mask. I also have a few Soviet ones from the 80s. All new/unused from Ebay. My all time favourite is the Soviet PMG mask, made from a single piece of latex, and takes the 40mm filters. Very snug, and the one in my collection I'd rely on to save my life. Completely air-tight. I've used it with an S10 filter to chop onions... 
But yes, if you want to have an effective mask, test the hell out of it - at least do the air-tight test.
The thing about filters is that they have a fairly short shelf-life, so you need relatively recent ones for them to be effective. Also, once the vacuum seal is breached, then their life is even shorter. I managed to get a few sealed ones off Ebay a year or more ago - I'll have to replace these in the next year or so.

These are 40mm, so will of course fit any NATO mask or indeed Soviet ones (bizarrely, they use 40mm as well). I have one of these filters in my collection too.
I used to keep a hidden GHB at my old workplace in London. It was full of maps and emergency supplies to get me home in the event of terrorist action. It contained a Soviet GP5 mask and sealed S10 filter - just in case things went REALLY pear-shaped... Nowadays I just keep some good dust masks in my rucksack.
