    Retired,but wondering how I used to fit a days work in.
  1. Post WW2 men leaving the armed forces were give a suit of civilian clothing. Grandma had uncle Ds, hanging in a wardrobe for years. Never fitted him from the day it was given, till the day he died. Now two of his sisters served, one WAC the other QARANC. The question is, did ladies get a 'demob suit'. Or possibly extra clothing coupons
  2. Khaki Drill Kilts. Worn by Scottish Regiments in tropical climates. From Victorian times till when? Were they withdrawn enemas or one at a time as soldiers returned to UK. BillyH
  3. Seen it done with Grey Ferguson tractors, at Three Counties Show Ground. Plenty of videos on YouTube maybe a link to Landis and Jeeps. BillyH
  4. Treacle Mines at Gullam , my grandad made pit props from raw licorice. Real mens work
  5. Could it be a photo of my mother in laws skin ?
  6. About 1000 lbs heavy ! BillyH.
  7. Ventilated case for transporting homing pigeons ?
  8. Known by some as DILAC hats . Don't I Look A Chump. Not seen much as the Jungly was more popular. BillyH.

  10. Thanks chaps, so I'm not going balmy . Looks an interesting clean shape. I worked at Aviation Traders Southend in the early 70's, Carvair was much spoken of but no mention of Vampires. It would be a good project for a model .
  11. Does anyone recall a project to convert D H Vampires to civil executive jets. Sounds daft in this day and age, reported on some serious TV programme Probably in black and white. BillyH
  12. Welcome on board and what pray is the 'project' ? BillyH
  13. That's some jig-saw you have there, best of luck with the project. Keep us posted.
