Is that your service diary?Must have been Viet Nam? I have my father's service diary from WWII - South Pacific.
Well, Rob, we have something else in common besides BMW scooters.
The Service Diary belonged to my late father. He dropped out of high school during his senior year on Monday, December 8th, 1941. Joined the Army Air Corps and finally came home in late 1945. I was born nine months later
Dad ended up in the CBI as a flight engineer on C-46s and C-47s, flying the "Hump". Within my homemade memento box is his AAC issue wrist watch, a few patches, some photos, his ribbon "rack" and some other stuff.
My late father-in-law was a P-51 pilot in the Second Air Commandos, SW Pacific area. I have quite a bit of his personal gear given to me by my mother-in-law as she knows I'm "air minded". The neatest item is a Jap pilot's knee board flight computer. Still has the pencil notes on wind direction and speed from his last flight.
Anyway, the shelf is just a takeoff on Burt Munro's workshop shelf and his "Offerings to the Gods of Speed". And Justin, outside of a failed odometer, the speedo's OK. Looks nice sitting there, wouldn't you agree?
