Morning all,

Thunderw21 - absolutely love the 2nd photo, just nails everything to a tee really. Really looks fab :D

And Darhling (nice to be able to say it, I say it too much in casual conversation in real life apparently lol ), zaika, BegintheBeguine, Miss 1929, Ms. Valentine, MissS, Alexandra and last but by no means least TessTrueHeart, any particular requests for the next uniform? lol

French Air Force, US Navy, British Infantry, US Enlisted, Austrailian etc etc...take your pick, or think of one totally off the top of your head...I may have it. [huh] :D

I know what you mean about the slightly short sleeves and trouser legs Naama and Darhling, it does give that decidely "vintage" look to things. I grow increasingly fond of it, although I have to as most trousers aren't long enough in the leg anyway lol

Pip.

i knew someone would

the famous "Luton facelift" is a very "Chav" term.. ie, common..
Tis where a lady, no, strike that, girl ( A lady would never do this) ,.. So, a girl has a very tight single ponytail at the back of her hair and has the hair gelled, usually wet look .. the hair is pulled so tightly back it sort of pulls the entire face up.. hence the Luton facelift

You can substitute the word "luton" for any nasty common trailer park type of town!!

I can do the "new one per day", although I'll eventually run out...should easily last until the end of next week though lol

Aww damn, I actually sold most of my Soviet stuff, the only stuff I have left is for one of the Free French Fighter Squadrons which fought on the Eastern Front (Normandie Niemen Fighter Group). They used a mix of French and Soviet uniforms/equipment...I'll see what I can do. Just need the ridings boots to arrive first :eusa_doh:

Should have a new photo for this evening, but off out for the afternoon for a flight in De Havilland Rapide ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Dragon_Rapide) ....but will try and sort one when I get back ;)

Should go in 1930's civilian attire coming to think of it. Bit late to arrange it now. Would've made a nice photo opportunity...doh! lol

Indeed, a handsome lad has joined our midst. Gentlemen, prepare to step up your game.

I'm years behind you chaps, you're all still way ahead. I've a lot to live upto ;)


Just uploading the photos from the De Havilland Rapide btw MissS, absolutely fantastic time. It is sods law however that the day has been lovely, but as soon as I left the house in the car, it started to cloud over lol


Fortunately I have a fairly "fresh red" complexion anyway, so blushing doesn't really show lol :D

Well, here we are...USN

Now I have to say before I post them, these are certainly not my best lol , can't help but feel slightly self-conscious as theres not a lot of ermm...cloth based shape to hide behind. I didn't explain that very well....

Not sure why I'm leaning forward so much either, I promise better for tomorrow :eusa_doh:

Anyhoo here it is:

And a slight vintagey feel.

Whilst not being strictly ontopic...I though that I'd be a bit naughty and pop the De Havilland photos here. Although in link form, as not to take up much room :D

The Rapide itself:

Warwick Castle from the air, between the bracing struts of the aircraft:

And the plane is beautiful. Also, Warwick is possibly my favorite place on Earth, so thanks for that picture as well. :)

Don't be ridiculous, you keep going :)

I'll buy you both a beer, but it'll have to be in the UK or Europe (I won't be old enough to purchase in the USA :eek: ) ;)

People should say it much more in real life, especially to me! ;)

Oh crikey yes! I absolutely adore Warwick and that area. Just so tranquil and aesthetically pleasing. I'm just annoyed that my photos no way do it justice lol

Hahaha my pleasure. Thursday may be a little delayed as v.busy. But I shall endeavour to do my best :D

I couldn't agree more with the darling use as well. It's a fantastic word and so endearing. I'm the first to admit I'm ermm...excessively camp haha (makes the world a more friendly place) but I think everyone should use it!

I'm sure you're fed up of hearing the word by the end of each day though ;)

it is a marvellous word, especially spoken in a british accent! but no, the only one who calls me darhling (with extra h's) is my fellow vintage girl friend.

Camp is one of the keys to world peace in my opinion - so go on, be camp!
