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

Speaking of Ripper, tonight the temperature dipped down into A-2 weather, so @Nnatalie and I decided to go for an evening walk wearing my original Cable from Rip:

Incredible jacket and patch, it's your pearl, Jan.
Love this piece of history.

Love the patch, any close ups...?

Sure thing, LC. There’s also a thread with more pictures and a small biography of the original owner linked in my signature below.

Today was another day of good barely passable jacket weather, so the missus and I went for a walk in the park. BK RW 23380.

 

[B-Man2]

Sweet looking BK.......

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Barely passable is still 50.1%. Good for you M - it's too warm round here which is frustrating. Nice RW

Might get a bit steamy out your way!

Hah, thanks, Dmitri, but they’re nothing to write home about - Docker’s D5 classic fit. One of these days I’m gonna get a pair of BR 1942 chinos...but there’s a couple more jackets on my list first.

@Flightengineer:

Dmitri,

is it true that, when they introduced the Yak-38, they were not sure if they should take fighter or helicopter pilots to train them on the airplane? And soon they decided to start with absolute unexperienced pilots, because the older, experienced ones were unable to learn and manage the totally different VSTOL dynamics..

I think I have read that somehwere...
