G’day Ken,
I’m from the south west of Western Australia & I think that I could wear a RAF flight jacket through our winter. I read on VLJ that your new merino pebbled BOB RAF jacket is actually lighter in it’s wool thickness vs your standard versions. Is this somewhat accurate Ken?
I’ve added more in an email due to post size.
Thank you for your time Ken.
Kind Regards
Steve Brown

Hi,
I enjoyed seeing the image of Dick Bellinger. I had met him as a boy. My late father was an attack pilot aboard Oriskany when that pic was taken. I know the entire story behind the shoot down. Plus the goings on afterwards.

Cheers, Dave

Hey Edward, The auction passed with all the Alberto Vargas originals and some prints. The prices were insane!! Even the limited edition prints were over 1000! I was able to score a western piece used on the cover of a pulp magazine. It was a 1931 Frank Spradling oil painting called The Sheriff Ducks
