The One You Wish You Had Back.......

[ausreenactor]

Bought them for 350 gbp each, sold both for 750 gbp each.
A decision I will always regret.

Got to check em first.

As long as we learn then we won't be so hasty to pounce on a short term gain for long term regrets...

For the sake of a few days pay...wait a few days, earn the dough and keep em!

Wise words.

Although I've referenced this jacket before, trying to find the buyer (I didn't), trying to buy it back. Anyway, the jacket is an original Gordon & Ferguson M-422a in an extremely rare size 48. I bought the jacket from the estate sale of the Navy flyer, who earned the DFC flying USN PBY-1 (B-24), for attacking/sinking a U-Boat in the Bay of Biscay. The sale included photos of the pilot, gloves, squadron documents, and a flyer from RAF Dunkeswell, Devon. Still looking for it!
BTW, in the crew pic, the jacket owner is 2nd from right, top row, and i assume wearing that jacket. It looks big on him and was a bit too big for me.

That’s a great piece ... I can see why you’d like to have that one back .

Willis and Geiger AN-6552. I’d only seen one other with the same contract no. on the entire inter web. Best goatskin I’ve ever handled.

Still stalking my neighbor.He was wearing an original B-15A the other day. Also has a size 42 Star, with P-38 insignia IIRC.

Put that guy on your “build “ list
Just maybe he’ll consider selling it to you .

No way. The guy’s a master in his own right. Has a six foot Bismarck in his living room.

he did mention my name and his will in the same sentence once though. But I can’t go down that road. Being that greedy would defeat the spirit of what the airmen fought so hard for. And would make me a psychopath...his dad was in the Chinese National Air Force, along with Chennault and the Tigers. Super cool dude.

Well in that case, get him signed up on VLJ !
