How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?
Born in '45. But I do not wear vintage, live vintage, drive vintage or anything like that. The only thing I can take with me from that period - the post war period - is a genuine interrest in Royal Air Force and the Battle of Britain. All through my childhood I heard about what the British and...- Spitfire

Movies about the French Resistance, any suggestions?
I do not see any reason why I should give you ANYTHING straight, since you obviously see it as your main purpose in life to stir up fights here. Especially with me. I will - however - not give you the satisfaction to sink to your level of narrow-minded, nationalistic bull.... Have a good day! -

Movies about the French Resistance, any suggestions?
As everybody elses losses. I think many italian families - who lost their loved ones - are just ar fed up with the "jokes" about italians as some of you americans are pretty fed up with the jokes about America came too late to two wars and still believe they won it all. That's about it. -

Another good reason for stopping it. Their deads were just as mouned and their sacrifices for a lost cause just as sad. -

BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.
Just found this amazing BBC feature on BoB - it's 9 pieces - 90 minutes but worth every second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t3gjpuwriA&feature=related Featuring Ewan McGregor and his brother Colin (who is a RAF pilot and gets to fly a Spitfire), veteran pilots like Wellum, Tom Neil among... -

A Royal Engagement
Not really a royalist - but they seems like a nice young couple and I wish them all the best. And I think they are going to need it! Could not help thinking how Lizzi and Phil were looking in their faces, when the young couple both started talking about Diana.- Spitfire

What do you fence? Sabre? - it looks like it from the look of your mask. I will try to find mine somewhere - it's even more abused. -
RAF Gauntlets
The RAF Gauntlets are coollooking - but without any lining. You might consider using them as they were supposed to be used, with a pair of silk/wool gloves inside. On the other hand (sorry) why go through the trouble with two pair of gloves. If you - however - decide to get them, I find the...- Spitfire

The story of a pilot
I think it is evident that Lewis looks so much different - more sinister and thoughtfull - on theese last pictures than on the first picture in this thread, which was taken during the early stage of Battle of Britain. Not much to laugh at now - only two months later. If anybody reading this... -
