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.

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.

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!
