Strange Military Vehicle or Items to Collect

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

I once owned an ejection seat from a CF-100 fighter jet...thought it would be great in the rec room for watching TV...until I tried it.

Years ago I took an interest in collecting old school text books from the late 1800's/early 1900's. Great titles like "Canadian Citizenship" and "Personal Hygiene". Then I found one on "The Women's Role in the Kitchen". It taught young ladies the proper way cook for their husbands and operate hand crank wringer washers. My wife found it an confiscated the whole collection. One serious comparison was between the "High School Reader" from 1916 versus the 1917 version. The earlier one was full of glorious war stories from Britain's military past, obviously to encourage young men to enlist. The stories in the 1917 version weren't all that glorious.
