Yes & Yes! When the AZ Wing of the CAF obtained their (CASA) He-111 and restored it for flight, a group of supporters put together a Luftwaffe Staffel to add to the presentation at airshows and displays. No sooner did we get a group together with sufficient authenticity then the aircraft was...
Edward, not that this flick was anything but pure fantasy, but in combat a pilot would pull on his goggles to protect his eyes for flying debris, glass splinters and oil and fuel leaks. All else be wounded, a pilot's eyes are his most important asset. No doubt the Captain learned that in China...
Der Bingle always seemed phony to me. On the other hand, Dino was a lovable phony! He didn't drink and carouse like the character he portrayed and was a good family man.
Hey, when did Harry quit beating his kids? :rolleyes: [huh]
Ok! I took the plunge on this one - my offer of $150 was accepted and I've sent my measurements. We'll see soon what quality and fit. I'll keep you posted on the results.

SH, here's what I do; I found a barber that will listen to my instructions so it works out pretty good. I grow the hair on the top of my head long - long enough that when I pull it forward, it's down to at least the tip of my nose. When longer, prior to a haircut, it will touch my top lip. I...
Take the train up to Liverpool Lime Street. Take the short walk to the Adlephi Hotel and enjoy the ambiance of 19th Century charm and a nice cuppa! It is worth the trip.

Oddly enough, a partner and I once considered doing this same kind of thing - making a reasonably priced Luftwaffe Jacke and selling them on eBay. Cost/Benefit never computed though. I may move on this just to see how good it really is. Love the style.
