WOW is all i can say I love your AAF stuff is that a B-3 in the first post? I love the aaf set up especially the 8th aaf dress. Can you take some more aaf pics for reference if you get around to it thanks a lot I will try to share mine when i get a camera. -Ben

Cheers Ben it is a B3 on the right (one of two that I have), Left is an Irvin. I have post other AAF uniforms but you will need to find them. I'll see what I can do for you over the next few days

That original Irvin is super super cool Rene.
I have a very good book based on Leslie Irvins developmental work on parachutes.
"Sky High Irvin"the story of a parachute pioneer by Peter Hearn.
and forewarded by Sir Douglas Bader (who technicaly owed Irvin his life).



The top image is Jimmy Doolittle,another flyer saved by the Ervin chute who went on to greater things.
Those who survived a bail out with an Ervin chute in the early day's were all members of a club whose name evades me at the moment.
The last image is the Irvin chute factory at Letchwort UK in 1926.
Sorry about the order of the images
Hope this was interesting.
Cheers fella's

Thought to show 2 arch enemies together
The steel is hot to touch when they are this close together

Very nice collection, René..

I actually live pretty close to where you are.. How do you source your mannequins/bodyforms?

EDIT: I must have missed the part where you answered this exact question! Not to worry!
