Festive A2 teaser

[Paul Glover]

One for the A2 guys n girls out there.
Please excuse me if I am barking up the wrong tree as I confess to knowing very little about the A2 jacket, but I very much admire them and never cease to be amazed at the forum members knowledge.
So here it comes, and I apologise again if this has been discussed before, I happened to have a quiet half hour today (christmas day) and was watching A White Christmas.
I could not believe the picture quality and found the period clothing and vehicles particularly interesting.
Anyway if any of you are interested enough to take up the challenge ? Can you identify what I believe to be an A2 worn by the taxi driver who collects Bing and Danny and the two ladies from Vermont station to the ski lodge ?.
Unfortunately my wife is refusing to let go of the remote control at the moment so I am unable to add a screenshot or even estimate how far into the film the scene is but maybe I will get chance tomorrow!.
Anyway if anyone reads this post Merry Christmas to All and best wishes for 2022 !.

Quite right !, I will sort one out tomorrow, it is only for fun but I am sure some of our learned members will have an idea.
Thanks for your reply, cheers Paul.

There's a pretty good photo in this thread...and a pretty good discussion over on face book. Any guesses as to what the jacket says would be welcome--I'd love to figure this one out!

"Whites Christmas" movie A-2 Jacket

My wife and I have a tradition of watching Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" on Christmas Eve. Has anyone ever noticed the A-2 the cab driver is wearing when Bing, Danny Kaye, and the girls first get to Vermont? The thing I find interesting about it is the art on the back which has been scrubbed...

That one.... got it... Need a front on to assess the finer details!

Regards the artwork and wording on the back, it's been the subject of discussion and debate on and off in various places for years. This invariably occurs over the Christmas period when the film gets aired on TV. The mystery never seem to get resolved

Thanks Steve, I wasnt aware of that !, but like many things at Christmas time I am sure that some people wont mind watching it again in case they can solve the long standing query.
Thanks all for your responses and interest. Cheers Paul.
