I think we might both reconsider this if we had a Type VII,
but sometimes I might not.  Depends on my mood at the time.
I would definitely wear the white hat.

My part-time/occasional/sorta project is a replica of 
the Argonaut Junior.  All that's needed for that is
floppy cotton overalls and a shirt a size too big.
That's kind of a shame, because I recall the elegance
of John Holland in his derby and coat.
