We have enjoyed James May latest adventures on Amazon, and interesting to see him wearing a Hamilton Pan-Europ Day-Date on the snazzy tri colour NATO.
Definitely worthy a watch !
I have been using an American Tourister two wheel carry on for the past eight years, it has survived countless long haul and European flights.
I'm not a fan of four wheel cases, this AT has two...
