Sabrejet wanted me to add some shoes to his topic---

[General Apathy]

 

 

Hi Forum Members & Readers, I was contacted by forum member ' Sabrejet ' ( Ian ) asking if I wanted to add some footwear to the topic he started on WWII leggings and footwear entitled ' Feet don't fail me now!, Service shoe/legging combinations, WW2 ' and can be seen at the link here.

I resisted for three days saying to Ian that I was really pushed on jobs that needed doing and short on time to go looking in my storage for shoes and boots. Well I relented this morning and went looking through my shoebox under the bed but not really coming up with anything very easily or quickly.

 

It was then that I was distracted by this item and the thought ' don't think I have seen one of these posted on the forum so far '. :think:

 

So here and the following three photo's is what I found in place of the shoes I was looking for, anyone else have one.

No it's not an army coffee table. :think:

Is that the table you dance on when you have had one to many of those 2 quart gin drinks that you make?

Hi Ken....thanks for the name check and shameless plug! No boots then? Never mind! As for the mystery object, it's obviously a USAAF-issue wallpapering table! And is that a Barrow, Wheel, Type 1 I see in the background?!

Apologies I should have explained that these types of tables ( Maintenance A-2 ) were set up alongside aircraft being maintained or repaired from flak damage, the table stands at a working height when rebuilding parts from the aircraft or machine guns etc.

Hi Ian, actually it's ' Barrow, Wheeled, Type I, Winter fuel, Burning '

 

Had this table for years and I think it's only ever been set up once at a USAAF living history display friends and I did
