    I went to a 1940's themed classic car show last year - I have to say that a uniform does wonders for both sexes!

    go as glenn miller, then if it's crap you can just leave and claim you was 'just being in character'.

    You could always do the comedy pilot thing, if you can get hold of a flying jacket and leather helmet & goggles, and the obligatory white scarf billowing behind you on a wire. And a silly moustache of course.

    If you can jive, it has to be GI uniform. If not, it has to be 3 piece double breasted suit, kipper tie, and a Trilby hat. Make sure you put a photo up to show us the decision.
    PS. Without knowing whether you have got any, Brylcremed hair with a centre parting.

    Sadly I still wear 40's bits and bobs everyday, at Chesterfield tomorrow I will be sporting a 1941 JW Benson desert campaign watch, a 1942 Liberties silk and cashmere gentlemans walking out scarf and a 1940 Dunn & Co Homburg Hat...

    This is absolute confirmation that I am a middle class mockney twat as previously suggested...

    ARP look is quite easy to acheive Swisdom, Tin Helmet, blue overalls, welly boots and a whistle

    If going down the uniform route just make sure you have a decent rank.I went to one of these and had to hand out the fish and chips as I was only a corporal!!!
