Hi,

the album - which is going to be sold these days - looks interessting. It contains pictures of FFA 54 and FFA 24 ... an propably later FA. Unfortunately the price is (for me) too high.

How interesting. Live life to the fullest and die happy. Not quite at your best to fight, but hey...

Good album, very nice. Makes me wonder where all the luxuries came from, seeing as how Britain blocked Germany and supplies and food were scarce.

Some really interesting material but unfortunately I would need to be as drunk as they appear to be if I was to bid up to the amounts demanded in the auction.

Somehow, I know the former would not have happened, if you read into MvR's character in Kildiff's books. The latter, maybe. LvR was more reckless than his brother, "a butcher".
