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

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.

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

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