Bristol Scout 1264 seen during the Shuttleworth Collection's Fly Navy air show at Old Warden, Bedfordshire.
I see this Scout frequently in town. It spends the winter under a cover and was just uncovered recently. I can't blame the owner for wanting to keep it in such great shape. I love the graphics on the side.
I came across this vintage International Scout in Shawsville the other day and had to stop & snap a photo (5-photo stitched panorama). However, the background left a lot to be desired so yeah... Photoshop. The background is a scene I captured a couple months ago at the top of Buffalo Mountain in Floyd, Virginia.

The Alaska Territorial Guard (ATG), more commonly the Eskimo Scouts, was a military reserve force component of the US Army, organized in 1942 in response to attacks on United States soil in Hawaii and occupation of parts of Alaska by Japan during World War II. The ATG operated until 1947. 6,368 volunteers who served without pay were enrolled from 107 communities throughout Alaska in addition to a paid staff of 21, according to an official roster.[1] The ATG brought together for the first time into a joint effort members of these ethnic groups: Aleut, Athabaskan, White, Inupiaq, Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Yupik, and most likely others. In later years, all members of some native units scored expert sharpshooter rankings.[2] Among the 27 or more women members were at least one whose riflery skills exceeded the men.[3] The ages of members at enrollment ranged from 80 years old[4] to as young as twelve[5] (both extremes occurring mostly in sparsely populated areas). As volunteers the Alaska Territorial Guard members were those that were too young or too old to be drafted during WWII.
