Looking good you both! And you really knocked it out of the park with that GW B-6, Jan. Wear it in good health.

Been wearing the GW M422 as much as possible and breaking in nicely. The zipper box is still rigid and bows out, but probably because thicker. Really a pleasure to wear and mouton is oh so soft. My son took this image yesterday just before we left Old Warden Aerodrome/Shuttleworth Collection for the jackets third flight in the Luscombe. Not that I am putting its flight time in the logbook .

Are there any UK based flyers in the Forum?

Nice M-422 there Sideslip. It's ages since I've been to Old Warden. Must go back. Good for you with the Luscombe, taildraggers are good fun. In a former life I used to fly an Aeronca 7-AC Champ but time moves on and I don't fly anymore

 

[Brettafett]

@Sideslip Im London-based, dont fly anymore unfortunately, but am looking for a way back in.

B-6 kind of day here...I went for one of my Irvins first but thought about trying the B-6 with an A-1 sweater underneath then as I never have tried that combo before...it turned out a good choice

for the doggowalk as the wind made the morning quite cold and chilly here....

Hey mate, don't mind my question but do you have "normal" mall clothing in your wardrobe at all or is it all about wartime clothing?

Of course it's just that this forum in general and this thread in special cries for posting shots of one's more wartime attire
Concerning jackets I do have mostly repro wartime jackets though by now...

Champs are supposed to be good fun! Taildraggers are always fun, especially in a cross-wind

@Sideslip Im London-based, dont fly anymore unfortunately, but am looking for a way back in.

I live in Ealing and fly out of White Waltham, there are usually some shares going in nose or tailwheel if you live on the west side of London. DM me if you want to talk more or fancy a flight in the Luscombe (same for @Lord Flashheart). She's going offline for a week or two but will be back soon before the weather gets .... actually, it's always random here.

great stuff all

still too hot for jackets for me!!!

Congrats on your new GW B-6, Jan!

Here's mine:

 

[Dany McDonald]

John, is this GW too? Really nice and perfect fit too!

Edit: It's a GW....

 

[entertainment]

Yes, I bought it from JC in 2013. The sheepskin is the fairly stiff (crinkly) stuff he used to use.

 

[B-Man2]

That's amazingly nice...JC is a rock star with these jackets.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Very kind offer @Sideslip. An old friend rebuilt a Luscombe. Very nice but extremely slippery and with no flaps good for sideslipping practice. I used to enjoy sideslipping my Champ more than flying straight and level !

Ease up! What's wrong with having a wardrobe full of military clothing?
