Members in Uniforms Part 2

[V.C. Brunswick]

It was a sad day when Gerhard passed BUT he's in a better place. Our ground crew group will be at the dance Baring any displays that come up. Here is a photo of my Crew chief class in 1985.

The one on the Left is me. Was at a D-Day event this past August.

Hey Toledo, you go to Fort Meigs? What did you think? I wasn't happy with the poor turnout. If you guys were the Rangers I saw, you guys looks absolutely great.

Fort Meigs event, 2012. We'll be hitting a D-Day event eastern Ohio next year! I had my BD jacket on for all of 20 minutes.

How about me in front of my car? Semi convincing-besides the 0's house in the background?

I was convinced you were going to say "Here's a shot of grandpa when he came home from the War". Great shot.

Some of you might recognize this - bugger it. Here is my new avatar. First you take a perfectly good, focused picture and then you spend hours ruining it with different editing programs...all in the sake of "atmosphere".

Wonderful!

But those 109s have obviously given you the twitch, you've got that 1,000 yard stare

Hi all

Finally figured out how to get pictures on, so here's a couple of me in all my clobber.

I am reliably informed that this Aston Martin once belonged to Geoffrey Wellum. The gentleman behind the wheel is Charlie Brown whos Spitfire is in the background.

Best regards,
Rob

 

[Smithy]

Simply magnificent Rob, good show!

Thanks Smithy. The pics were taken last year at Goodwood Revival. Roll on this years Revival.

Plain and simple question:
Who made your boots?
I have some that Aero made about 8 years ago, superb craftsmanship except one squeaks.

Hi rocketeer
I am trying to replace all my original uniform with good quality repros. I don't want to wear out or damage my original kit. It's lasted this long, it deserves to last a lot longer.
Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to replacing my boots yet. They are original, Air Ministry stamped boots. Made by Hawkins. I will eventually replace them with D Lewis boots.http://www.lewisleathers.com/173.html
They're good but nobody makes repros the same way they did back in the 1930s.

Cheers Dixon, much appreciated.

I am drooling over that Aston Martin of Wellum's - just lovely. Looking good there Rob, thanks for sharing!!

 

[Spitfire]

Good show, Rob!

Me too! Those prewar Astons are the bees' knees. You'd have to stump up a fair wallop for one now though!
