Oh dear!!! How crass, there’s always one isn’t there!!
Do post the vets photo when you get them back won’t you?
Firebird – thanks for all the information, all fascinating stuff! I know what you mean about war films, we have a similar situation in our house with anything regarding aircraft 😀
Steve – ahhh…. wish I’d known about the vets by the P51, missed that having a quick look around the hangers before anything else. Anyone got a photo of the group?
thanks skypilot, I knew I knew very little about uniforms, I now know how little that is!:D
Never noticed the watch being ‘non period’ guess those details are what makes all the difference. The US uniform is definitely wearing a black tie, as was his colleague (see attached enlargement), would they not be worn if someone in the company had recently been killed in action?
How on earth anyone could put up with wearing that heavy clothing all morning in that heat beats me! I certainly appreciated their efforts though, gave a nice period feel, and improved the flightline walk no end from a photographic point of view.
Anyone able to give me a name for the group that organises these costumes?
No sign of you on any of the originals I’m afraid Damien, the only thing I’ve cropped out of the above image is a white Land Rover bonnet on the extreme left.
Know what you mean about just getting the smoke trails Everton, its one of those cases where if you see it in the viewfinder you know you’ve missed it!
:rolleyes:
