    Akubra slouch hat

    It's an old thread but I came across it after seeing the WWII version Slouch Hat by WPG. I though it might be useful to add my 2 cents. I've owned many original hats produced during most years of WWII and from the very few pics i've seen of this representation it looks pretty good. I do have...

    The Wooden Wonder - the de Havilland Mosquito

    Hello Tim, how's it going, did you get that B after you got the kid?? I love the Mossie and it's probably all due to soaking it up in the '60's in films like 633 Sqn. This is a bit of digital art I knocked up a few years ago, showed it to an old Mate who flew Beaufighters and he just said...

    $700 for a WW2 Red Raiders squadron patch? Any idea what this one's worth?

    Red Raiders A-2 For interest this is a Red Raiders A-2 I picked up last year, locally made V505 jacket- something i've wanted to get for for a very long time. It belonged to a B-26 Pilot from the 2ndBS 22ndBG and has two lovely Australian made patches. The back was painted at some time with...

    Flying boots

    They might have the skills and equipment but the real issue with the 36'ers was working with the sheepskin lining and not the outers and they don't appear to have anything like that in their inventory. Still it's possibly worth at least asking the question of them...

    Flying boots

    With regard to the possible RMW 1936 pattern replicas the news is not good unfortunately. They confirmed to me today that due to several reasons that will not be proceeding with the project. They had commenced making a prototype but found that despite using the best equipment and skills they...

    The White Mouse - Aussie War Heroine Nancy Wake dies at 98

    Time is creeping on. This sad but timely news sparked me into reaching for a 1st ed copy of Russel Braddon's book on her that I bought years ago that somehow I hadn't read and which I will now remedy.

    ...and Soren, now you've started on this journey it'll be really interesting to see what kind of character you can pull out of that fleece. I think you've found the secret to extracting the best out of those powdery puff new fleeces.

    Flying boots

    WB, at this point they are only looking at black for the protoypes. They are using my sz 12 pair of Brit made AM stamped boots as they would be the type which would be more in demand. I received a call today from RMW advising that despite all efforts they'd hit a snag with sewing the...
