    R.I.P. "Tich" Palliser

    Just heard the sad news: "Tich Palliser" - one of The Few from Battle of Britain has just died. Tich flew with 249 Squadron and lived his last years in Australia. We will always remember them.

    WPG Irvin sizing advice

    Had a WPG once - standing 1.92 m and a 52" chest. Ordered a size 52. Can't remember having any problems with the armlength. Hope this helps.

    Hitler's Atlantic Wall ~ Should France preserve it?

    There are lots and lots of bunkers at the westcoast of Jutland. Among them a huge - dug out - fortification at Hirtshals. Now a museum. (Check it out on GoogleEarth)

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    I've seen it - and afraid of being singled out as choosy, but I don't like wired Irvins that much. Sorry. And I don't like the price either ;)

    Hitler's Atlantic Wall ~ Should France preserve it?

    Not exactly beautiful. I can easily understand those who want them cleared. (These are not from France - but from Denmark) The most intact of them should be saved and kept as museums/memorials of a time - but some of them are just in the way and ugly.

    Repro Irvin - test jacket 4 finished!

    I fully agree, Paddy. Jon's jackets are something quite special and quite extraordinary. I have had the pleasure of trying one on and I must say - from my memory - it felt just like the real thing, I once tried on at Duxford. Same weight, same skin, same fleece and same softness. Amazing work!!!!

    Repro Irvin - test jacket 4 finished!

    Paddy - isn't it possible to move this thread to the Irvin repro? So we can get all "the manufacturers" in one spot.

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Interesting with the mis-matched seam tapes - but hey! Don't they know there is a war on - so who cares? :)

    ALL ORIGINAL Irvin RAF type Jackets - Loving that Wolf in sheeps' clothing!

    Fantastic jacket, Andrew - just like I like them! Pre-war, two panel! And what a great condition it is in. Not much tear on the fleece either. Is this a new one in your collection?

    Movies about the French Resistance, any suggestions?

    Ahemmmm...Rats Riley. With all due respect: "Flame & Citron" is about the danish resistance. Takes place in Denmark. Not France. But it's a great movie anyway!
