Thanks for the info B.T.
Will look at Richard's site, I have a feeling they are the same as the ones I have always seen and have, a sand colour, not sure if the red lining makes it look more orange if you know what I mean. Although I have been told to wash it and leave...
Valley of the Kings - my vote for Khaki
I'm all for a thread on Khaki, OD, etc.
So C.P. here's to Khaki :)
Most of my wardrobe is of subdued colours anyway.
In support of Khaki I have a photo of Dr. Otto Schaden taken last year outside his tomb (KV-63) in the Valley of the Kings, Now...
Afternoon tea at the Dorchester I found rather good, however, it has been a few years since I last went.
Have to agree mith Miss Du Guerre about Brown's. This was also used in the BBC series Miss Marple "At Bertrams Hotel"
If your wife's is a literary buff you could always drive up M11 to...

I has a SLR .762 rifle and my brother had the tommy gun. He also had a Lee Enfield 303, not sure if that was by Mattel.
Tante Ju (Ju 52)
As ever, the one I most desire is Tante Ju. I would have it with no paint, design my own tail design and travel round the world on my own private adventure :)

Heino - blau blüht der enzian
Well Mario,
I am sorry you had Heino as a punishment :( .My father played Heino on tapes in the car when we were children and so I guess I link it to happy days out visiting new places (which I still enjoy) although perhaps some relatives on Sundays could have...
nice collection of photo's thanks.
I went to see a screening of the "The Dambusters" at a local cinema two years ago, brilliant. I thought maybe the sound would be poor compared to modern stuff but the part where the Lanc climb after a low level cross on the lake was lound and moving. Also I...
