Japan to Australian and through customs in under 48 hours. Expected delivery in two weeks through DHL? WTF?

 

[Silver Surfer]

I just received a sun surf aloha shirt delivered to my door in 9 days. A record?

Australia Post had it's busiest day this year on Monday. Surpassed Christmas peak records. Our Government's financial measures have resulted in record savings with low income earners earning more to stay at home than they would earn in a normal working week. And if you go and get tested you get $450 while you await test results. If you go positive you get $1500. A family of five can make a killing. More money than some have ever amassed in their lives?

Anxiously waiting on this side as well

Photos mate when the new arrival...well...arrives!

 

[ausreenactor]

Sitting in it now... watching a movie. It is a great fit, it is a great hide and it has exceeded expectations.

The Buzz Aero...

Pondering the next jacket for Father's Day!

 

[ausreenactor]

Absolutely wrapped with it. Have thrown three patches on it.... just can't do it...

Have so many cool patches here that would look great on any jacket...

 

[Smithy]

Bloody beautiful looking hide on that Couchy, well done mate.

BTW the whiskers suit you

Thank you Sir... Whiskers are a rare treat. Usually reserved for mid December through to the return to work. Four weeks in.

No moustaches allowed in the new home.

 

[Saint-ex]

I really like the hide character and color.

With rust knit it's a perfect match to me.

Couchy I thought you'd gone "Special Forces" mate for another trip to the sandpit

Once again that's a ripping looking A-2 and the hide looks amazing.

Been there, done that..

1993. Beret qualified at 22 years of age. Long before the days of 'Six Figure Diggers'. With my mate, Smithy! LCPL Michael McDonald-Smith.

Just what Smithy said... it’s a winner.
Yeh... I’d be hard pressed to patch that beauty. You must have another one that you can now use as your patched A2......

Two BR 42s and a DD Bronco 44 sitting about doing nothing these days. Did leave the 'Stitch Bonder 5000' on base..

A-2 count is up to eight again? How did that happen?

Thank you!

Great photo mate.

You actually haven't aged much - apart from the silver in the whiskers, must be all the fresh air and all that army grub
