Travel Thursday!
As far as I can tell, we’ve done Bermuda, Brazil, Ireland, and Hawaii in our ongoing Pan Am travelogue series. But we haven’t done an obvious destination. A country much like ours (at least in 1962) but separated by an ocean and a common language.
“Wings to Britian”.
Bonus video: I thought I’d throw this in, since it is short. A discussion of Toby jugs by two gentlemen from Bonhams Auctioneers. I have to confess: I enjoy those accents. Both of these gentlemen seem like the kind of person I’d like to take down to the pub for a pint or two.
I can’t find anything online that addresses the WWII symbolism of the Toby jug: was that an invention of the “12 O’Clock High” scriptwriters, or was this an actual tradition for aircrews?
