Scouting anyone?
I believe the problem with modern scouting is, that they try too hard to be modern! - In order to attract kids. Instead they should go back to old-school, vintage scouting. As it used to be - and was meant to be. (Hiking, camping, making your food on a fire, surviving...) To day a...- Spitfire

Who makes the best A2 repro
Digged out my oldest "Goat" A2 - it proved to be a Avirex (yeah, yeah - I know) bought some 10-15 years ago. Or maybe even more. It still fits - and after a good treatment with Pecard it's as good as... vintage.;)- Spitfire

Why Do I Love The Dutch?
I believe that "small" countries - like Netherland - without any coal, oil and whatever natureresources has developed a very openminded and outlooking human nature. And even more so if you have a coastline. Everything can come to you and everyting you have to offer as a nation and as human... -
Why Do I Love The Dutch?
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap You are closer than you think. Or - you have read up on the history! The danish army was small, badly equipped and were not allowed to fight the invading nazis. Only a very few did. -

ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets
My very first Irvin was one of these too. Bought in 1977-78. I later passed it on to my father - and I guesse he still has it. Will try to post some pics of it, if possible. I remeber it as a jacket with a "slightly painted" surface.- Spitfire

[article] Age appropriate dress for men.
Shorts are great! When you work in the garden or lie around in the sun on a moutainside in Tuscany.

Couldn't...- Spitfire

Regarding a decision in purchases
When I did my national service (drafted) back in 67-68 we only had Garrand. Some were WWII material - and they were all delievered back to US, when the danish army got new rifles. (Where they were later sold to anybody who wanted one) I am not a huge "weapon-nut" but I must say, I enjoyed... -
Who makes the best A2 repro
You are so right, Andrew. I allready have an 10 year old Cockpit goatskin and a Historical Russet Horsehide from Flightsuits, Calif. - and both are nice jackets. But if I am going for the third one, I want it to be precise and as close to the real thing as possible.- Spitfire
