    Mitsubishi AM6 ZERO

    I saw the Enola Gay before it was restored - I went to the Smithsonian restoration facility out in W. Virginia around 1992/3 - when it was still open to the public! It remember that it was a big warehouse of a place and very much a workshop - dusty and dirty and bits of planes everywhere (the...

    Amazing vintage photo of various jackets at once

    I've never seen that one before … I could admire that for ages! So amusing and so right! And what flesh tones … fantastic.

    Amazing vintage photo of various jackets at once

    In a harsh and sometimes abrasive world, I think a little sentimentality is no bad thing … I love his work.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Captain America 2. It was as brilliant as Iron Man 3 was awful.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I would say that there's no such thing as "reality TV" - and there was just one exception for me that comes to mind. It was a documentary called "The Staircase" and a camera crew followed the proceedings of a (murder) court case and a family as they went through it … now that was reality and...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I keep seeing the trailers on TV for "The Bachelorette" - all crying and not getting along and tears and storming out - all in the hope of love … And I just think: So much drama without meaning.

    I cannot believe I've only just found this section of TFL …!!! And then to come across your loss, dh, is … well, I know the pain and sadness of saying goodbye as you have just done only too well - when their leaving us is the very last thing we'd want - but to ease the passing of our beloved...

    Would you wear it?

    Good to know, Big J - thanks. I'd always wondered if it was to gain some added ventilation in that oppressive heat or stop the hem from brushing the ground and wearing prematurely (and thus make them last as long as possible?)… I'd never considered the material itself being a factor and how...

    Amazing vintage photo of various jackets at once

    Nice P-40 too - just like the one Pawineguy just posted here at the air museum! Same angle! Look at the guy in the russet A2(back left). Imagine if he posted here asking how his A2 fitted him … that's how they were and he didn't care.

    Yes, I see one - and nobody is talking to him! Clearly he's regarded as uncouth and an outcast.

    Amazing vintage photo of various jackets at once

    Great photo, Nick! I especially like the red ball cap - it's just like the Ebbets Field one you helped me get last week (see the Hats section if anyone here wants to see it - under "Needing help in getting a first class baseball cap. Thanks again, Nick!) !! Man, everyone looks so good in that...

    Lost World's is having a sale...

    I agree, Nick. It's amusing and, as I said, he makes various points I'd agree with to a degree, but that stuff that belongs on a blog (and that'd be fine. It's a free cosmos) - and it starts to feel unprofessional to me, as it goes on and on stops being about the jacket above his text.

    Lost World's is having a sale...

    But a website is the public face of any company … so it's the first impression I made and, rightly or wrongly, it's remained. But I'm very glad to hear that he's better in person and you had a good experience … that's encouraging to hear. Thx.

    Lost World's is having a sale...

    I've always been put off by his diatribe and ranting on the state of modern men … he has a point - up to a point - but it just goes on and on … and it's totally off-putting after a while. I mean, if that's what he's like in the Sales Department, Lord knows what he's like in the Complaints...

    Would you wear it?

    I think they look fantastic (though not that KMT cap, you're right Big J. But very interesting!). I'm always surprised at how short on the leg their khakis appear in photos … but they still look so cool to me. I read an old Ballentine's war history book on flying the "Hump" and the adversity of...

    Would you wear it?

    I didn't know that the chit was intended to be given to the locals … as if that'd happen around here! "I'm sorry, what? You want … what? The blood chit? But … it's on my jacket. Of course you can't have it! It'll leave unsightly stitch marks on the back panel! Are you mad? Be off with you!"
