Take care and thanks for sharing that pic. Reminds me of my old Dad, same get up
Big bots of lion red, toweling hats, stubbies and happy memories.

Wondered if my eyes were tricking me. Lion Red. Nostalgia at its best. Latest hunting gear. LOL.

fire engine red!!!!! a jolly fine drop,not often found down here,unlike waikato which is now everywhere LOL.
yes the lack of ciggy out side of mouth is unusual for that era.

All bar one of them were smokers...... In fact my mother commented "just about every photo he has a smoke hangin out his mouth".....

Condolences I know what its like as both my wife and I are now orphans.

Remember the good times @scotty. RIP.

Well, that sucks Scotty. Maybe you should start drinking big botts of Lion rouge in his honour.....

Yes, I too dread that phone call. I've seen a lot of death and destruction in my lifetime, but it certainly cuts deep when it's your own family.

Let me know when you're free for a beer

Condolences Scotty as my dad gone but mum still steaming along!
Every now and again when I head to the pub that stocks big bottles I enjoy a wakatu or a speights.
Not very often these days you see them.
The Gretna in taihape still does so when I head down that way usually call in and have one if I know some one thirsty!
