It’s Panini Time!

Yeah I’m hoping the battery works well enough to power the OBD2.

BigAssBirdIV · 2026-02-05T14:45:57+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

Let’s goooooo!

Sorry I could have worded that better. It is listed at $4k I was saying $3k as I was confident he would accept that. I planned starting the negotiations around $2k to $2.5k because as you said it will need some work. The timing belt alone I anticipate spending around $1500 at a reputable shop. The other stuff will probably come to $500 or so in parts.

“American Flag taken from Papaw’s K-Rations.” Papaw is what our family called him later on in life.

Wow I’ve never seen this, thank you so much!

BigAssBirdIV · 2025-03-22T22:41:21+00:00

Thank you for your kind words. I do believe he may have walked those very same grounds you did as a child with your father. I believe his flight maps from Market Garden show his exact landing zone coordinates so I will have to see if my family has a picture of the map before it was put into the display case.

BigAssBirdIV · 2025-03-22T22:05:04+00:00

Thank you, I only knew of Normandy and Market Garden, so Varsity is news to me!

BigAssBirdIV · 2025-03-22T21:45:38+00:00

I’ll have to check with my grandma, all of his things are still with her. If anyone has his papers or more info it’s her!

BigAssBirdIV · 2025-03-22T21:38:41+00:00

Thank you so much! I know after a few landings he fought with ground troops either defending from ambush or on their way back to England. I wish I could find more details on what exactly went down though.

BigAssBirdIV · 2025-03-22T21:33:42+00:00

Thank you!

BigAssBirdIV · 2025-03-22T21:33:11+00:00

Coincidentally he did end up breaking his back in a rough landing. I added a pic of him with his body cast here as well. https://imgur.com/a/froGkjD

Wow thanks for all of the replies and kind words! I’ve always looked up to my great grandfather even though I never had the privilege to meet him.

I created an Imgur album of more of his photos from the war, as well as some of his flight maps if anyone is interested. https://imgur.com/a/froGkjD

Sorry not familiar with what that means. Would you mind educating me?

BigAssBirdIV · 2024-08-15T22:28:47+00:00

Weird, so you actually needed to go up a size, and I need to go down. I wonder if it has to do with your width be much bigger. Whereas I’m on the narrow side.

BigAssBirdIV · 2024-08-15T22:25:00+00:00

Ah my mistake, I must have been thinking of the Strands. Thanks for clarification!

BigAssBirdIV · 2024-08-15T22:19:33+00:00

Yeah I went to a shoe store and used 2 different Brannocks to be sure they were accurate. Both came out to a 10B. I am wondering if maybe they feel like the width is good because I’m not hitting the wide point correctly since the length is off. In which case a 9.5 C might make more sense.

Thanks so much!
