    Which TV personality needs a hat?

    Naah, then he'd get mistaken for me. :)

    trilby or beany

    KTLA, the oldest TV station west of the Rockies, celebrated their 60th anniversary last year by showing old programs, showed a kinescope of a "Time for Beany" puppet show. Beany went to see the President, and they addressed him as "Harry." I remember the cartoon from the 1960s, too. As for...

    Fedora Lounge Theme Song....

    My vote is for "Puttin' On the Ritz," specifically the version sung by Gene Wilder and the late great Peter Boyle.

    WWII Snapshots - Moments in Time

    Well, my mother was from Austria and she was a nurse in WWII. I need to find those pictures I once saw of her with some German soldiers and scan and post them. Here is one of her (On the left) in her nurse's uniform. Sorry, it's a little blurry, I don't have a scanner so I just took a picture...

    Classic firearms of the classic era.

    Right now I'm debating whether to send my Filipino Armscor 1911 to a good gunsmith or just to find a better 1911. At minimum, the Armscor's sights need to be adjusted, they're off by a country mile. I thought it was my shooting, until I borrowed my local pistol range's Kimber and was...

    Jeeves and Wooster

    Heck, the animated Art Deco opening title sequence is worth the price of admission on its own. :)

    'THE GREEN HORNET'

    Great hat! I have three green hats and I love 'em. Heh, I used to have a black Imperial, too (later model than the TV show's) but I didn't have the green hats when I had the car. :)

    RAF celebrates 90 years

    Thanks, Doc. I guess the experiment of unifying land and naval aviation didn't work out. My uncle Denis flew the "Stringbag" (Swordfish) during WWII. I may have a picture stashed in a box somewhere.

    'THE GREEN HORNET'

    If you're talking about the Green Hornet TV show of the 1960s, your hat is much better looking than the one Van Williams wore.

    RAF celebrates 90 years

    Wow, great story! Thanks for the link. It's interesting that the RAF was formed from the RFC and the RNAS to form an independent air force. If memory serves, there was a Fleet Air Arm that flew from carriers in WWII, were they part of the RAF or the Royal Navy?

    I'm obviously ecstatic with mine. Really I am, thanks Besdor!

    Glendale Airport? Grand Central Terminal

    Prior to WWII, if you flew into Los Angeles or Hollywood, you arrived at Glendale. Howard Hughes, if memory serves, was based there. Disney owns it now. I wish they'd complete the earthquake repairs (it was badly damaged during the 1994 earthquake) and restore it for use in vintage-themed...

    Glendale Airport? Grand Central Terminal

    I work in Glendale, and keep meaning to take a look at the terminal. I know that the runways and taxiways are gone, so don't look for anything that resembles an airport. You can see the terminal in all its glory in the movie "Flight Angels." (1940)

    The Red Baron

    I always thought that Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher should play Richtofen, even if he's a little old. They have the same steely expression.

    Cigarette case

    Here's my Dad's silver cigarette case. It only holds unfiltereds as well, I smoke Luckies and use a Denicotea filtered holder. It had elastic straps to hold the cigarettes, but those lost their elasticity long ago. I wonder how hard it would be to make new straps. Click on the...

    I wonder if he had a cigar lighter installed in it. ;)

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    I'm around, but work has been using up all my energy of late. Gotta post more, I guess. :)
