Let’s see,

Riding a bike with high heels. At least her feet won’t slip forward off the pedals.

The English equivalent of P-51 Mustangs flying that close to the ground. If those are similar to dandelions, those seeds would be flying everywhere in the background.

The noise from those engines. Her hands would be covering her ears, unless it’s too late.

I know. Picky, picky.

The hum of two Merlins is nothing but music to the ears; no need to cover them.

For those who struggle with the identification of the two aircraft, the front one is a Spitfire, the rear one is a Hurricane.

She’s also standing in what I can only describe as a tortured position, twisting her legs and arching her back, so as to present all her assets towards the plane…. Well, presumably, the pilot.

It’s not made any easier by her riding what appears to be a boy’s bike…

Maybe she’s wearing heels so that she can stand tall enough to clear the crossbar.

OK, hope this will work. Low pass of Spitfire over a film crew, plane was a bit lower than they expected.

Video won’t embed (Disabled by Owner) so you’ll need to open in new Tab/Window.

Only a link showed in your post, not the embedded video, of course.

That means it just automatically opens in a new window for me.

No problem!

While he’s highly visible if you know what you’re looking for, I’d think it’s still amazingly good camouflage….

Enough for hiding from the likes of passing birds of prey and other hungry beasts who aren’t specifically searching for him.

Another cool J Chein wind-up…. Nowhere near as valuable as the Popeye one for several reasons.

A lot more were made, and it’s about 20 years newer… You can tell by the lithos that this is a 1950s version.

And of course, it doesn’t feature Popeye.

….
Chein made tons of tin roller coasters, carrousels, and Ferris wheels… Some as late as the mid 1960s. Amazingly delicate and complicated pieces joined with tiny little tabs, so that most you find are in need of some repair.

The roller coaster is the least intricate, but it’s still a problem finding one with every part, especially the teeny tin cars, which are usually missing.

I had and sold this piece back in the 1980s, but I wanted to see what it sells for today… You know, so I could kick myself.

But the asking prices i saw tonight were all over the map… From theoretically $69 to $875.

The $69, though, was on eBay, where people tend to wait till the last second to bid, hoping nobody notices and they get it for a low offer.
But I’ve seen things go up hundreds of dollars in the last 5 minutes.

I got I believe $100 at a toy show in the early 80s… But it wasn’t complete and I never was a high end dealer.

Oh my!

Son of a gun!!

I wasn’t expecting to see a poster so soon for another movie I was in!

I’m honored… And embarrassed.

I remember Stel saying you did a lot of work on this one, too, Nighthawks.

Thanks for helping make me look so unexpectedly glamorous… And bassetlike.
..

Looking at the way you guys dressed me, and made me up, you’d think I was a real life gun moll….

But… thigh.….I’m really only a pun moll.

Honestly, the only gang I’m part of is our Cleo gang!

It’s been a few years since shooting was over…

I’ve had a long day… got home dragging my tail.

I had no idea Nighthawks would post this tonight, without giving me even a warning shot.

I’m not trying to skirt the issue…
It’s a great poster.

But right now, I gotta split for a while…
Maybe powder my nose…
