Giant Pith Helmet Thread of Doom
I think this thread is big enough for two Wingates... Orde Wingate in this case. -
Classic 1950's Sci-Fi> Should we redo them today?
You sure are right about the remakes. Carpenter's new look at The Thing was good but the others were, indeed, lacking. I think one of the appealing things about those films is the lack of modern polish. They seem more direct, more innocent. I suspect that is why most of the remakes fail to...- DNO

Always a delight to see your new scarves, TT. Keep posting. I finally found my first cravat yesterday...green with red dots. Cravats are hard to come by on this side of the pond. No label unfortunately. Temperatures are hitting the high twenties and mid thirties for the next little...- DNO

Allow me to say, Miss, that I always look forward to your movie posting. You always seem to find the most interesting flics. In my case I just watched Carve Her Name With Pride with Virginia McKenna and Paul Scofield.- DNO

Rediscovered aerial photos
I'm with you. If you have a look at the Pegasus Bridge photo you'll notice the field full of gliders farther up the photo, near the Orne River bridge. A number of them must have collided with each other on landing. -

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Based on the company name, the goggles seem to date from the late twenties to the mid-thirties. I suspect they were driving goggles. The container is only about 2.5" wide and 1.5" high and could easily fit in a ladies' handbag or the glove compartment of a car. The elastic strap is pretty...- DNO
