How About UK ? This isn't quite as crazy as it might at first appear - air fares from / to US / UK aren't that great so . . . . . . . . why not plan a holiday to England and visit my hometown of Birmingham LOL I had a truly exceptional suit made by these guys for the very reasonable price...- silhouette53

Longshoreman
Well Pleased ! Well, after living with my newly aquired Longshoreman for a while, I'm happy to say that it is exactly what I wanted in a jacket. :) Fits great, very comfortable and it feels like I had it forever !! It still has a 'newness' about it yet also feels wonderfully 'broken in' - I...- silhouette53

Longshoreman
Hi Fraazierjo You must be just a 'lil older than me if you were wearing them in the '50s - I didn't appear until 1953 lol I guess the mid sixties was the point at which I began 'noticing' clothes and who was wearing what. I suppose it was still true then that the leather jacket was a...- silhouette53

LHB pics HD here's a link to some pics I posted a while back - :) Additionally, I had Aero add an inner pocket like the one found on the G1 type jackets - the LHB is lined in brown Alpaca http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?p=227613#post227613- silhouette53

Longshoreman
Very Nice Thanks for posting those pics - its a very nice looking jacket - it makes such a difference if you can actually see what these jackets look like 'in the flesh' so to speak, the pics on sites such as Aeros really give little idea. Many thanks ! I'm even more attracted to it now ...- silhouette53

Does anyone have an Aero Longshoreman ? What are your opinions of the jacket ? Hard to tell from aeros website pics what the jacket would look like 'on' - so if anyone has photos . . . . . . . . . . :) I have a long half belt ( size 40 ) in Aeros standard brown colour which I have decided...- silhouette53

Talon Early Demise !!
Thanks Many thanks for the replies which have been helpful - Fanch, as I'm not too bothered about the question of authenticity, the idea of having the stronger cotton twill lining is a good one and I intend to go for that. The idea of a more modern and robust zipper also appeals. Mike K, I...- silhouette53

DUXFORD 'FLYING LEGENDS' AIRSHOW 2007
CORRECTION Sorry guys, the Spitfire day is on 5th August - not in September - my mistake. http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/server/show/conEvent.1363 The September airshow looks to be a good mix of fast jets and WW2 planes ( Spits, Mustangs etc etc ) and the red arrows display team...- silhouette53

DUXFORD 'FLYING LEGENDS' AIRSHOW 2007
Glad you all like the pics, I must admit I'm no photographer - just point, shoot and hope for the best LOL. The FW190 didn't fly, it was apparently supposed to be taxiing around but didn't even get to do that for whatever reason. I will certainly try to attend the Spitfire day on 5th August...- silhouette53

Dress like a Swell!!! (NEW 'Dressed to the Nines' Gents reading list).
Good list of books Paddy. I have two from your list -: 'Dressing The Man' by Alan Flusser and 'The Gentlemans Guide To Grooming And Style' Great for tips on many issues, what goes with what etc. Although usually to be found in an A2 and Bills Khakis, I do occasionally 'dress up'.

Glacier Girl: P-38 Off to Britain
I didn't post that link without some thought about how it might be received. I was really quite surprised at how flimsy the plane must have been for it to virtually disintegrate on impact. I have no knowledge of the P38's construction - was it metal ? or like the Mosquito, wood & fabric ...- silhouette53
