24th Combat Mapping Squadron  

. Hi Johan,   I sold my collection of V-Discs before I moved over here, too worrying trying to ship that many ' Breakable ' discs.   Here's one of my favourite Glenn Miller tunes,  ' It must be Jelly ( cause jam don't shake like that ) '   Did ever hear the Glenn Miller tribute band, they played ' Pardon me boy, is that the cat who chewed your new shoes ' 🤣 🤣       Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, May 08 2O25.  ( COMMEMORATING VICTORY IN EUROPE DAY )   ….    

That’s a WWII general mechanics vehicle tool box. Used with Jeeps to tanks, nice find!  

Here you go.  It looks like he bought this one on ebay last month for about $60.   https://www.ebay.com/itm/256905810612?_skw=aerial+gunner+wings&itmmeta=01JTR4D14AJ1MZYVV8K0CZFG4V&hash=item3bd0c792b4:g:7REAAeSw9RtoCu0P&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1faUeZKdaZ%2FzcHYlmoeObTbkf2z0z8nfZQI3SI2OF1gRm8vwZYocBp1REVZ%2FpPQ0U02kgphKTooPFQpOT1ccQ3LSesoSkY3tGedJddl3LfspfhRpZI0PAomST%2BxNXePyfIeOC7s4dyDGE5D7GeJPwcS2ejLWkWUOSFmxIavbOJCrJiopdbtbBg1iTJKs7sqlJpqdopznRXfQF6fmk45eE2sPyzMmwc%2BhEN9IVBx%2BMIK7M6Qq74Sd5%2BADDipakaAqtg%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6qStITWZQ

Thanks for reaching out, nice to hear from guys that got to know him.

Hey Ken there is a car show in SME this Sunday…    

It was a privilege to have met/learned from him in his native environment at robin sage in 2005 he taught us some wild techniques and shared some* stories!!    Us thinking we were something… look back and we were all just eating eating crayons in his presence! 

The Hacienda de Buena Vista, recently incorporated into the city of Saltillo, has been an agricultural school for many years. In 1847 five miles separated the city from the hacienda. Construction of the first building occurred in 1578, on a site that later became the Un. Autonoma Agraria Antonio Narro. A planting of Pinon Pine covering a large portion of the nearby battlefield plateau is a one of many orchards managed by the university.     Many units from Wool's Division camped at the hacienda before and following the battle of February 22 - 23, 1847.  A severe action at the hacienda was a collision of saber wielding horsemen and charging lancers from several Guanajuato Regiments.*         The relics displayed are from the volunteer camps of the North Carolina and Virginia Regiments. Both units became part of Wool's Division after the battle.     * 3rd, 7th and 8th Cavalry Mexican Guanajuato Activos Regiments; 1st U.S. Dragoons, one squadron, 2nd U.S. Dragoons one squadron, Arkansas Cavalry and Kentucky Horse 

Dont have any Vera Lynn, but did crank  up the phonograph with some Glenn Miller for VE Day.  Stomping at the Savoy…     IMG_9003.mov
