Bill Kelso's Relic Hunter on TV !!!

Post by afalzon »

We are pleased to let you know that you will have the opportunity to see one of our jackets on TV. \:D/

It will appear on BBC 2 on a series about WWII called 'SAS: Rogue Heroes'.
The 1st episode will air on February 6th and the 2nd and 3rd will follow in the two weeks after.

The jacket will be worn full time by the host/narrator of the show Mr Ben Macintyre.

Don't miss it.

Looks like an interesting show! The teaser is just a bit too dark on my monitor to see much of the jacket, though. :-k

Neat they got the actual author of the book (Published in October 2016) to do the actual narration.

Regard! Michaelson

Something somewhat similar also a true story of WWII, the book and documentary on, "Lady Be Good."

Flight of the Phoenix was loosely based on this true story/tragedy. Seems like around 1958, the remains were discovered by a petroleum survey crew.

Very interesting read.

Is this the Hawaii Relic Hunter or the Cairo version? And which leather was used, if you know?

Jacket looks great and the first episode is very interesting.

The formation of the SAS is very similar to the creation of the Green Berets - a few "unorthodox" soldiers challenging the conventional wisdom of how warfare should be waged.

Great series. Made all the more watchable by having your jacket on display. :D

Proof that you don't need to be Harrison to look good in the jacket. The jacket makes you look good.

Very cool. Can't hardly see any details of the jacket but there is one shot where you see the nice texture on the back of the jacket...

Thank you for sharing. It's a first-class look at the founding of the SAS. Ben Macintyre at his finest.

I've owned your Relic Hunter for two years now and absolutely love it. Incredible quality and fits perfectly. It still looks like it did the day it arrived.

Best,
Carolina
