Out and about today. It’s still warm, but the Cossack is comfortable.

Well ordinarily I wouldn't have accepted such a base receptacle but the festival is at a community pub meaning that people in the village itself have shares in the place and are renovating and manning the place on a voluntary basis, with this in mind I am prepared to tolerate the 'glass'.The pub dates back to the 15th century but for one reason or another had suffered a decade of closure until deemed as a community asset by the powers that be who loaned residents the money to purchase the establishment. Six years later that loan has now been repaid and the place is indeed a thriving village asset and one that I feel sure Phil, aka Lord Flashheart and also local resident, will be familiar with.
Normally that's a winter haunt for me Steve in breeks and check shirt but it's a cautionary tale of greedy pubco's with a happy outcome. Their selection of beers and ales is worth tolerating a plastic flagon for. I thought Base Receptacle were playing Glastonbury though ... maybe I'm wrong ...;)

That's the real Monarch 1941, Depot re-dye. Depot wrist knits otherwise original. I have to say I patched it myself. Not to deceive anyone, but when it was redyed in theater, the original patches were taken off, leaving area of where the original patch was. I found out who the pilot was by his name an SN stamped in the liner. I've replicated the patches as closely as I could. Would never want to fake it. Had to cover the area. Since I didn't know if an original patch would come around, or if it would fit anyway. Earlier felt patches were hand stitched. So I did it myself. Over about a year of work. Matches exactly on the inside.
