What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[Griffon_301]

naughty bits are off limits

but I would let you gentlemen help me in covering the costs, fuelling up the Hurry and cleaning the cockpit...
you might be allowed to have a seat then for having a picture taken to post here on the forum...

ELC 1942 Irvin for the Duxford BoB show yesterday...
I thought "what the heck, I'll buy me a Hurricane!"

Now that is a beautiful repro! Maybe because I'm not as knowledgeable about Irvins but both Aero and Eastman make some (not all) good copies. The one you have has everything I'd want from an Irvin!

Waaaay too hot here (38Celcius) to be wearing anything leather today, so I've decided to wear my reproduction TAP 47/52 (in a lovely lightweight cotton ripstop)

we took the cheapest ride in a Dragon Rapide on Sunday morning...
15 minutes, two rounds over Duxford and surroundings in a 1944 built dH for 49 pounds per nose.
quite a nice experience to see the site of the IWM from above, together with the flightline of assembled warbirds...

Brilliant, I did the Dragon Rapide ride at the Victory show years ago, definitely worth it,

the Victory show is one I still need to visit, as is Tank Fest.

I used to go regularly years ago as my reenactment group were camped on site for the weekend, and the battles, definitely one to do, the aircraft line up is much better though now

Been there, done that.

I guess if we would live in the UK I would definitely do reenacting... my gf was quite amazed when she saw the various reenactresses and reenactors, even more so when we came by the tent of the ATA and I told her what they were doing in the war...

I love the scene with the Tiger Moth and Ralph Fiennes in the English Patient flying across the desert

Some really authentic living history displays in the UK

I'd say UK and Belgium have the most serious reenactors i've met so far - not that much contact with american reenactors before tough ...
