Few more vintage boys

well, these seemed to go down quite well last time, so I have a few more stills of vintage sailors.
My father, a sailor for 15 years saw this book yesterday - I thought he would like it, most of the shots are less touchy than this, and there is an air of innocence to it all really - instead he got really narky about - slating the pictures, the friendship between the sailors, the book in general. He was adamant that they were 'too close' and it wasn't natural (now, whilst I might not lay between my friends legs with my head in their crotch (well, only on special occasions!) My friends and I do sit with our shoulders/arms touching frequently, and certainly aren't scared to make body contact.
Pah. I don't know what I mean really, and I suppose posting pictures from this book on this site wouldn't further my argument with my Dad, but it is a bit if a Yah! Boo! Sucks! to him.
And it's pretty. so bleaughr!



This is the first one dad took umbrage at..




then this one:




This one I love simply for the comedy 'tache!













And I love this one, because it is a classic Tom of Finland (prompted by a prev post!) set up..



Right that's it - I promise I won't reproduce the entire book!
