Nose Art

Tom – while not strictly A2 Art – check out this panel at the Kingman Museum – they have a small display relating to the Base there and the silver fleet ,after I took this shot I walked out the exit and into a Cactus Bush – its thorns were embedded in my arm – owch – will be careful when out in the Mid West again !!

Lucky Partners was the B17

Legends

I would just like to be able to attend cos if u work in the NHS u Hardly ever get a weekend off 😡

I echo snappers comments that it would be good to get a large bunch of veterans in attendance and not exclusively signing prints / books, – are they available for the general public to have a chat with ,it seems quite difficult to chat with a high profile veteran .In the States they make a presentation to an audience and answer questions, -well they did at Reading PA – the Vets from the Easy Company ( Band of Brothers ) gave a question and answer session .

Heaven Sent

This has to rank right up there with the all time great A2 ‘s – from an aesthetic and artistic viewpoint it is awesome – the name and implications are awesome too , will also add one of Royal Flush – another famous 100th plane

uniforms

I have a very nice ORIGINAL USAAF Jacket , pinks and Garrison Cap ,if you wanna see it maybe I will add a photo

At Molesworth one year I saw a guy in an Original Polish Airforce Uniform from WW2 – very authentic and brought a real period feel to that dance , at one point I thought I was in a timewarp

Superb Link Tom ,my Boeing Belle A2 is the only one i have

Fletchers Castoria is original and a keeper I think

i hadn’t heard about any break ins at Thorpe Abbotts – that would be horrendous

My friend in Phoenix Earl Benham owns the Hard Luck Jacket – its in amazing condition for its age – he had the foresight to save it and not hand it in to a charity store !!
