Two other "Great Men"
I’m having my 1st Day Cover signed by James “Ginger” Lacey (is this whose nickname you are using Ginge)? And Adolf Galland framed.
I have had to create my own picture to go with the cover.
I have knocked up two designs but can’t make my mind up which one to go for.

Re: Two other "Great Men"
Both look nice - if you chose the second then I would turn one of the planes round to make it look more balanced, and consider removing the diagonal line
I must go up to the skies again, to the peace of silent flight, To the gull’s way, and the hawk’s way, and the free wings’ delight;
And all I ask is a friendly joke with a laughing fellow rover, And a large beer, and a deep sleep, when the long flight’s over.

Re: Two other "Great Men"
Best so far. Personally, despite it being iconic, I wasn't so keen on your using the Battle of Britain film poster in this context. This is mainly because it has a Buchon and a Spitfire on it, both of which seem out of place when celebrating Ginger Lacey and Adolf Galland's contribution to the Battle of Britain. So this latest iteration looks great!
Re: Two other "Great Men"
Thanks Donkez.
I re-did the BoB Poster using Lacey's Hurricane & Gallands 109. Replacing the Spitfire/Buchon.

I dunno, I'd say you've had a bloody good stab it yourself, Nails Either of those two revised editions would look really nice, which I suppose doesn't really help

No I'am using the one that the bullies at school gave me! The other option was " Give me your diner money before I smack yer you little ginger bastard" but that didn't fit into my Sig!
