Whats the third one down on the right Les as with my manky eyes I cant make out the little center emblem (or is it the light catching a star) it's quite show of ribbons either way,
I dont mind seeing them again at all. Fucking nice show Les.
 
Just found these - someone took a picture of me ACTUALLY working! That aircraft was PG 407, Lockheed S/N 5704 (I think). I worked on her during final assembly back in 1980 - 17 years later we meet again!

The one in the flight suit was right before we deployed to Barbers point Hawaii for RIMPAC 98'

Oh well, some news from the Chocolate soldier front anyway - the 2nd Guards were out in Edinburgh on the Royal Mile this weekend collecting for the Poppy Appeal. It was good fun, chatting to friendly Canucks and Americans about their own Veterans days (Canada has more or less the same arrangements), getting photographed by phalanxes of giggling Japanese girls and meeting a gorgious Russian devochka who told me that her great-grandfather fought in the Defence of Moscow.

Also it was fun to see the double takes people made at one of us who was in full Cossack rig, complete with birka woolen coat!

Here's a pic of roughly what it looked like.

Ah, there is something interesting that might happen as well.

Someone is going to make a film about the Night Witches, and it looks as if they're interested in having the younger members as extras!

Have to see what happens with that.
 
Hardly! Nah, they're mainly after the girls (ain't we all?) and it will mean standing around all day - probably in the freezing cold, to be in a single frame of a 10 second sequence that gets cut from the final film!

Someone told me that it's a bit complicated where living history groups are concerned, as we wouldn't just be extras in the conventional sense, because our presence would also come under the remit of 'historical advisors' which sounds (and is) a bit swisher.
 
Yeah, I know what you mean. Some of the guys in my unit at Lakenheath were extras in "The Last Days of Patton". If you freeze frame a part of a formation shot, you can see them. It's just a pan past shot. They did a LOT of just standing around all day for the one shot. But you never know. You may get picked for a quick walk on part, like a courier or something.
 
What Everybody has been waiting for.

Ill get some more with some better resolution but theyre in a box in thebasement and dont feel like digging for them right now.
