I must admit I usually miss this thread but I must say a big well done to Pip.

Looking very, very sharp in all of them.

You look like you should be in 341's dispersal in the last set

 

[Pip]

Hi all,

Darhling - as always, thank you

Smithy - thanks ever so much, means a lot. Eventually, once I've found the SD cap capbadge, 331 Squadron will be aired

All the best,
Philip

fftopic:

Pip if you want some info on 331 (or any of the Norwegian squadrons) and uniforms PM me. They were quite different in many ways from other European squadrons in the RAF. I can also give you some books to track down which you might find useful.

Thanks Rikrdo, that baby face was the reason I grew the stache lol. It was really depressing to be 20 and look 15. Was turned down for a date because I looked too young, such is life.

Where was that photo taken? Looks like you're having fun and there's some beautiful scenery behind you.

Now you can use that too your advantage and won't have to complain about women thinking you are too old. It doesn't matter how old you ARE, it's how old they THINK you are! lol

Small world. I was just actually talking to John from the pic about an hour ago

Here's one of me that took me a bit of work to turn into an old rumpled photo.

 

[pgoat]

pretty cool effect!

 

[MissS]

Dominic, that photo is genius!

Guys, sorry, have missed too many postings to comment individually, but don't you all look wonderful?

 

[Pip]

Dominic - Absolutely love the effect, photoshop magician?


Well, here's todays installment. Bit bland and uninspiring but compares the USAAF to the RAF in terms of practical flight clothing etc. Rather than completely using wool serge, by 1944 the Americans had adopted a system of layering using electrically heated clothing coupled with alpaca lined cotton clothing. The jacket shown is the B10 flying jacket, with a moulton collar, alpaca lining and a cotton shell with knit cuffs + waistband. The trousers however are the standard 1937 wool (but much nicer wool than used by the British) trousers.

Shall have a slightly more dressy photo for tomorrow

Please excuse the squinting lol

 

[Darhling]

Pip-darrrling - You have taken this thread to new heights with your constant elegance and flair for how to dress. It just keeps on getting bette and better.
