OK guys,
Tonight I gave the green light for a great undertaking, celebrating (albeit a bit early) my 50th birthday coming October 17.
I will order a ELC size 46 Star Sportswear and collect it in July, than have it fitted with a 751st BS, 457th BG Squadron Patch made by Robin Mott, then, on the way home, will deliver the jacket to have in painted by Robin with the "Home James" motto and Elvgren pinup "Kneeding a lift" . This design is after a real jacket, that existed back then and is pictured in "Vintage Nose Art" by Gary Valent as shown here, together wit the original pinup by Elvgren:
I'm very much looking forward to working with Robin to create this work of (jacket) art - and I'll keep you guys posted.
I've copied this thread from old VLJ and will continue it here!
