In my day job as painter and decorator I met Katherine who makes things out of glass, Tiffany and jewellery and other lovely decorative objects. www.number8glass.co.uk   We were chatting and I asked if she would make a display case if I gave her the specifications. This was done and I got a case for my R.F.C. and early R.A.F. with a roundel in the corner. We were amazed and really pleased to notice the mirror back and base completed the roundel. I have also one made up with a quarter of the World War 1 German cross to house ' the other side'. If anyone is interested I will post some more images. 

I have been collecting aircrew from a variety of sources and in any scale that was available. My thanks go to Steve Warrilow of Fusilier for the big men. I think he captures atmosphere and character of those men who flew and fought in those machines. Just stand next to a Bleriot or similar and get scared. I did. not only were these things flown but to fight in them as well is just terrifying, and I am only thinking about it not really doing it.

I think that there should be an Aircrew Section in the gallery for ARCers who just want to see pilots etc. I don't mean to offend anyone here it just seems more appropriate. As aircraft types are in categories maybe we should do the same for those who ride in them
