Acer, somewhere I've got an excellent book on the Falklands War (can't find
it or remember the title, but..) It has a great picture of one of the the
more noted Royal Navy Harrier pilots in full flight gear AND a magnificent
beard - one that Grizzly Adams would be proud of! At least back then, the
Brits were tolerant of such individuality. I suppose he strapped his O2
mask on really tight.
