1943 Photo of British Solider Using Umbrella as Shade on eBay

I spent far too much time in the sun today. I could have used an umbrella like this!

"1943- British Signaller W. Bale working on his jeep using an umbrella for shade on Sicilian beach."

Dave, to prevent sun damage lines on your youthful looking face you'll need to start wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

Especially while driving your open jeep.

Hope the umbrella was bullet proof.

Pascal: Now there's a good idea! Steve: I've never been much of a hat guy, but wearing one yesterday would have been a good idea.

I carry a small patio umbrella about 5 feet in dia since I have no top...in case I get stuck in a road block or at the car show. It just plugs into either of the two tubes on the back corners or the mount I made between the seats. Keeps from frying in the sun. For static or low range only.
