    BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.

    You are so right, Tim. A bad cover can spoil everything. I actually did not buy a book once, because of a bad cover design - filled with faults like you just mention. It's a shame wwhen the author goes through a lot of trouble to get everything right - and the designer just doesn't give a...

    The story of a pilot

    Unfortunately not. I had contact with one of his sons, a daughter and the grandson. Only the grandson send me some links to pictures, I allready knew the existence of. But the search goes on - I have just ordered this new book written by Neil, who flew with Lewis in 249 sq. There might be...

    The story of a pilot

    Just managed to get my hands on a copy of the LIFE magazine from 1941, which features the story of Lewis. :)

    New Aero website!

    Just wait - I suddenly got to the new site, when I tried today. Don't ask me why it did not work the first time...nice site though.

    New Aero website!

    I don't see anything new when I go in on their site. Only the same old site. Have they changed the address too?

    Ascots

    You are so right, Tim. And I would be very careful if I had to buy one - in fact, it's more the style I like. I think a striped cravat looks really smart. So I just might be better off with a non-school, non regimental pattern. In that case I could always tell people that it was from Vanløse...

    Who else collects the M1 Garand?

    I have no interset in guns or collecting guns - but it might be interesting to you who are into these things, that the M1 was still the standard rifle in the danish army when I did my national service in 1967. So - yes, I have fired a M1 several times. And I do remember it as a very reliable...

    British white mug question

    Yes you do! They get hot like h...! I remember beck when I was a boyscout, we had a trip to UK and camped out in Yorkshire somewhere together with our English "friendtroop" from Nottingham. All the smart English boyscouts had these white (ex-army) metal cups and we really wanted some too...

    Overcoat from Magnoli

    Just found this rather fantastic overcoat from Magnoli - anybody done business or bought from them in the past? http://www.magnoliclothiers.com/chicago-overcoat-overcoats-p-209.html The coat is just the one I've been looking for for several years. Anybody of you know of other dealers/shops.

    Hangers... Do you hang your leather jackets on them?

    My A2's goes on hangers - as large as possible and with broad shoulderends. My Irvin goes in a chair or on the bed or on the floor. Hanging a heavy sheepskin jacket on a hanger would probably spoil both the shape and the skin.

    Well - maybe not so much action here, more like: After the action.

    are your kids bigger than you?

    No. Two sons. First one 32 - second one 22 and none of them are as tall as I am. But I am also pretty tall. (1,92 m.) But I reckon they will be, when I start to "shrink" with old age.
