We drive by that area a lot! Were you in the area for school?

It's cold out there. The ELC 55J14 and a fleece jumper underneath do the trick nicely. This jacket used to be my father's and is at least 25 years old. Tough as old boots. Notice the scalloped pocket flaps. ELC doesn't do them like that anymore. Apologies for the low-quality pic.

Oh yes! I will definitely head to Biggin Hill next year hopefully...I have been there once in 1994 IIRC for an airshow, great memories! And the blokes there seem to be just a great bunch of guys too!
I have told my missus already that for my 50th BDay, it will be a two seater Spitfire flight for me!

They also have a two seat hurricane now as well as 2 two seat spitfires.

Ah, fair. I grew up around here, and I rather suspect that the company my dad worked for was located here for similar reasons--he was in software engineering and worked on test systems for vehicle emissions. Dixboro is an interesting (tiny) place--I had fun poking around a little antique store the last time I was out that way

A beautiful warm morning in London so for a trip to the pillar box something a bit different, a corduroy jacket, but not just an ordinary one. I picked this up years ago in a charity shop on a trip to teh States, intrigued by the label and found out that it was same make, but not same style, as teh jacket worn by Elvis on cover of Elvis is Back album, also seen being worn by Eddie Cochran in a photo , the Browser by Sunset House.
What's it doing in this forum, you ask ? -well, it's got leather buttons !
Hope it's a bit of interest anyway

We don’t discriminate Geeze .
If it’s vintage we like it

 

[MikeyB-17]

Don't believe those that tell you nobody gives a f*ck about anything but military jackets around here. Cool jacket, nice to see.

Charlestown again (it's close to home, my wife can sit in the car and look at the sea, and I can go for a stroll on the beach).
Considerably better weather, good day for the Buzz William Gibson B-10.

Beautiful photos Mikey !
Sitting at home everyday facing restricted travel regulations sucks .
Your photos keep me mindful that there’s a bunch of places I’m going to see once this CV-19 shit goes away !
Keep em coming

 

[MikeyB-17]

Thanks Burt! Charlestown is also interesting as it has a harbour which is usually full of sailing vessels (they filmed a lot of Poldark here, plus any number of films over the years). What with Winter and COVID, it’s not quite so photogenic at the moment.

You’ve inspired us Mikey!
My wife and I decide to take a long ride to the beach this afternoon just to take a long walk along the ocean . Sometimes you get so caught up in your own little world of issues, that you forget what you have it your own back yard .
Thanks for the head slap ...
