Default BOAC

Imaginative, esoteric or adjacent to Dagenham?

I don't understand the Dagenham reference?

The fact it is sewn onto a piece of old army blanket doesn't make it look original.

The alleged BOAC tunic buttons are in fact identical to those worn previously by London Transport ?

Glad you pointed this out, Dave. I have some of these buttons and was beginning to wonder if they were more unusual than I'd originally thought. Clearly not!

I have fallen foul of this crook from the west country. I was embarrassed by my dealings with him to over 100 pounds. He is a fraud.

However and again we should not forget one of our most notorious fakers with multiple identities. I notice he is even bidding against himself this time. My last run-in with him got me involved with Cleveland police of all things. Check out chell48 the man once known as sun45moon and a further ten or so identities who scammed some poor soul out of 80 pounds this time on some bogus Recce Corps bits and again with another lame story. Be careful, he is a member of this site and this identity is known to the moderators as most complaints are usually 'disappeared'.

<snip for brevity..
Can you be sure he's a crook though? Ask him does he have a list of BOAC's battle honours.
