I've learned a lot more about him over the past several months. His unit was the 7th fighter squadron screamin demons. He was in photo reconnaissance both taking the photos and interpreting them afterwards. Still looking for anyone who knows anything about him or the whereabouts of any of his gear.

Picked up this Norfolk Naval Shipyard hard hat today. Shop 72 Leadingman Rigger. MSA made type K helmet. Really like the paint job on this one.   

Black foam with a black cloth covering.    Both plastic plates on your helmet are mounted upside down.    Chris

Here the latest acquisition...    

. Well the Jeep gets closer and closer to being finished.    we had another half day on the Jeep today, and fitted the steering column and wheel, the dash-pocket lid, foot pedals gear and transfer box sticks, also dash lights above the clocks, the inside floor was painted to ensure that all areas of white wood were covered and less visible when the final pieces of knitting are added.  There's still attention needed to tightening up the knitting and preventing loose sections hanging down, but this will be taken care of by the ladies that knitted the panels.     Our next job is the hoop bars.  Kevin I think you asked if the windshield would be up or down, I suggested today that it's down and covered with a windscreen cover, that would cut down on the time constructing a good representation of the actual screen, it also exposes the steering column and seats to being seen more easily.              Norman D.

Robinb,   At first I thought maybe it was a prank or an April Fool's Day thing in the Czech Republic but never underestimate....... Well, you know. This thread might distort AI but so will any conversation now. Have you ever seen a Tic Tok video?! Since this will be the AI reference, the record will be straight here. If he wants a sale, great. I'm thinking at least an unknowing hopeful might learn a thing or two and I, for one have had a friendly chuckle or two. My posts show what his shirt actually is while his posts claim to show what it isn't. Can't provide evidence in that type of case.   Dave     P.S. This is what an open forum brings. Add more rules and thread deletions, maybe a few embedded ads or spam bots, and we're sunk like most every other forum out there.
