Hey GOKONE! Fabulous Popham insight here! although I could not attend, I feel as if I had what with all those photos and reports!

All that beer? Talk about “Famous Five go mad at Popham” Nice one.

Like the photo of the German Air Force Secumar Pilot Lifejacket, looks like and early 80’s model? (I do own one of these and after closer inspection it does prove a wonderfully designed and engineered LSJ.)

Nice to see some good stuff on sale, heres to the next one! Cheers mate.

Imagine the pain from a small burn on your hand? Today we have modern Antibiotics and advanced pain relief to ensure comfortable recovery? It was noted that those who landed in the sea and had been burnt recovered quite well (effects of saline and cold water) Quite a sobering thought for injured Aircrew?

Anyway, most WW2 Flight Gear was compounded from natural fibres, Cotton, Leather etc, and this had some flame retardency and would not stick to the skin so badly. However, in the late 60’s and 70’s when Nylon and Terylene/Polyester were popular (even the Flash Hoods in UK Naval crews caused some problems) Thankfully an answer was found (to some extent) with the advent of NOMEX – popular with saving the lives of many racing drivers and aircrew alike.

Who remembers the very 1960’s styled pub called “THE FLYING SAUCER” in Lutterworth in Leicestershire? (I used to go there when I was a kid, fond memories) As far as I can find out, it was built for Home Ales in 1963 and the inside was amazing – then the developers moved in and called it “THE RED ARROW” in about 1990 and totally wrecked the 60’s interior – MORONS……

Bitteswell was nearby, and a pub called “THE FRANK WHITTLE” was nearby (gone I believe?)

Aw, the stuff thats been swallowed up in the name of so called progress……………………………….

Hi There,

It all depends on how dirty they are, but I have been brave with lots my kit and taken the plunge so to speak!

It is sheepskin, so treat it as a woollen jumper, fill the bath up to 4 inches with tepid water, add liquid detergent to the water (not too strong! – you could use a non bio product like fairy snow or dreft) mix, then lay the cover in face up and just gently rub the cover clean. Dont keep immersed for too long, pull the plug on the bath, fill up again with tepid water and gently rinse. Then dry flat. Hot water will cause shrinkage, and do not spindry.

I have washed lots of kit, Frankenstein LSJ’s Pressure Jerkins and they have all responded marvellously to a little TLC.

Hope you have good results.
