Buzz Rickson 'Archi Ball' 511th Bomb Squadron Tanker...

Gents,

I swore I was off jackets after this trip. Pounced on an adorned version of the BR Second Pattern Tanker.
I had contemplated something similar for a jacket art job several years ago.

40R is good to go these days and picked it up for the cost of a cheap, plain standard BR version.

Name on the front chest could be confused for a well used Australian greeting.

Nice find .... Haven’t seen one of those for a while.

They pop up from time to time; however, the price is generally exaggerated by the AUD at the current exchange rate. This was just over US$230. Shipping will add another US $50 I would expect. Not too bad. Will add it to the pile of Tankers...
