Milsurp After Hours

This was my first car , a Ford Anglia. This isn't the exact one, mine was rescued from a scrap yard for £6.10.0. I ran it for 6 months and sold it for £7. The only car I ever made a profit on

My first motor was a Morris Marina 1.3, i was in my twenties before i got my first car as i was motorbike mad from seventeen. Still am now in fact.

I think this was in Glencoe on a Scotland touring holiday with my girlfriend about 1979 ish.

Joe. Specialist E4 in a US Army warm weather go to town shirt? I thought you were in the British Army? I got one like it in the closet. Size ...small. No chance of getting into it now days. And I probably never wore more than about once.

Isn't it surprising what we guys keep in our wardrobes
I have various pieces of military ware that has shrunk
I shall never wear it again but when the wife suggests it is thrown out

I still have my RAF Best Blue, Working Blue and Greatcoat in my wardrobe along with beret and cap. I still have my webbing belt, small pack and shoes as well. The uniforms are a bit tighter now but the shoes still fit.

Regards
Peter.

The dress green jacket and my boonie hat are the only military issued cloths I have left.
The jacket has hung in the closet since July, 1970, have drug it through 3 states and several thousand miles.
Had lots of uniforms when I got out, but none left.

I still have the green coat and the Boonie hat, and the bus driver hat, and a mis matched set of jungle boots, and a dorky looking ball cap, and a jungle jacket, and .... that khaki shirt.

Vern got an Arcom with a V. All I got were been there medals.

I finished up my Vietnam tour with the 101st so that's my combat shoulder patch. I would have rather had the 9th...but they didn't ask me.

I ended up with 2 Arcom with "V" and 1 without.
But you have a Bronze Star on top.
And I know we both earned those Air Medals the hard way.

I drove this as an everyday cal for many years and had a bit of fun on the track as well; 1926 12/50 ALVIS 'Ducksback' Super Sports.
