Cool, thanks, was wondering... Of course, it should be obvious. Clarkson won't buy anything but British, and then, only the best.

Not a famous person, but a scene from an old movie "The City That Never Sleeps". Note the A2 on the taxi driver... this seems a bit early for side entry pockets.

Motion picture director William A. “Wild Bill” Wellman. While in Paris as an Ambulance driver during WW-I, Wellman joined the French Foreign Legion and was assigned as a fighter pilot and the first American to join N.87 escadrille in the Lafayette Flying Corps. As a combat pilot in 1917-18, Wellman had three recorded "kills," along with five “probable kills,” before being shot down by German anti-aircraft fire on March 21, 1918.

William Wellman as a flight instructor at Rockwell Field, San Diego (1919).
