Colour photos are great.

Interesting looking bunch of guys at that base Marcel. The Navy jacket looks a bit like an A-2 modified with fur trimming.

I agree, looks like an A-2 that's been adapted with mouton/sheepskin. That tent that's named 'snatch house'....doesn't snatch have a rude meaning in American?

More excellent photos Marcel thank you, love the Mr Johnson shot. The jacket looks amazing, I'm guessing it's either a Sheeplined or Bronco.

Great photos. Havocpaul, "snatch" might be the equivalent of "fanny"(a perfectly innocent term here) to you Europeans.

 

[TankBuster]

Great photos for sure! Gotta love the P-47 guys! Some great A-2 shots!

That tent that's named 'snatch house'....doesn't snatch have a rude meaning in American?

No more rude than any of the other slang terms used to describe the area between a woman's legs.

Not sure what's meant by the sign on the tent, unless they have their own little brothel set up or something....

So much for worrying about slash or hand warmer pockets and military men standing around with their hands in their pockets.

Agreed with all on that fuzzy A2. Wonder what he was thinking?
