how 'bout these handsome guys.... no laffin' either ...one of 'em is my Dad.... oh, alright then, go on ...have a good laugh. He's the handsome one; the buff one. The others are his war buddies ...both of whom he apparently saved from some horrific encounter or other.
He could still walk around a school gymnasium on his hands at the age of almost 60 .... helped my youngest sister build a log cabin in his 70's ... and survived 'til he was 87 ... having smoked since he was 10 and polishing off as much booze as any man could for most of his life ... every year that I knew him anyway...
Laugh, and carry on...... what else can we do some days?

Fab photo - I remember my Dad having "wartime" trunks - knitted in navy wool - bet they were really comfy when wet!! x Jo
They all look very self conscious...sucking in their guts...LOL I love old photos. Your dad sounds like my dad...smoked from the age of 10. He finally kicked the habit by chewing gum but then he got addicted to chewing it:)
Oh the trunks!!
Some fabulous cars in the background too
:)

A gorgeous oldie Vee - I do like black and whites.
They'd have all fluttered the ladies' hearts I'm sure :D)
I remember my Dad's swimming trunks with the belt through the top.
Great photo there. That would be a fabulous one to scrapbook if you could. My Dad had a knitted swimsuit and his younger sister. They were only small children during the war!
Sorry I am late but I have just come home from a quilting AGM since Wednesday!
Hugs

Not laughing at the guys....just the swimsuits. Criminy...they go all the way up!
Your dad had a great health regime. It worked for him, for sure.
