- Re: Viking Seventeens et al:
This is what I know: Both the Seventeen and the Kellymac appeared at the same time - 1962 - and they are more or less identical. They both have the following colors -
brown, light blue, royal blue and marine blue - but only Seventeen has red and green, and only Kellymac has orange.
And the only way I can tell one from the other is that the Kellymacs have a kind of a square hood, especially when viewed from behind. The Seventeen hood is more rounded.
And the slickers with the checkered hood lining is definitely a Viking (product name of Vestlandske Gummivareprodukter) make, but I don't think it is called Seventeen.
And I wouldn't mind wearing a Seventeen - in the rain or having dinner - and my choice of color would be light blue.

I came on the scene later in life than Harald, certainly, and perhaps you too. I liked the look of the Viking Seventeens right from the start of HHs sets of photos.
> I think it is the particular blue, or brown-I gather, and the contrasting red lined hood and particularly the look of the material, backed by the descriptions from Harald and HH. I have more recently then examined the files and specific sets of photos and then gone back over recent photos in the monthly sets. Particularly, see Dec 09, no 5, the girl sitting at the mirror; Jan 2010, no. 7, the girl in the laboratory; March 10, no. 7 the girl on the beach - a specially good one from my point of view and April 2010, no 2, the girl on the street corner. Each of these confirms my own vwey subjective, I admit, liking for these Viking Seventeens.

Don't forget you the Honarary President of the VSAS (Viking Seventeen Admirers Society) Do you not remember your inauguration ceremony and your Presidential address. There is even a photo of it in September 2010 (title the lecture).Like all graduation ceremonies, here in England anyway, you had to wear the Gown and Hood and you gave a very VSA inspiring speecg, I well remember.
