Rusty - even by the standards of excellence set by your designs in recent years, that is simply outstanding and stunning. It's even more poignant for me, as I am just pulling together the final details of the op history of a relative who was a Flight Engineer on Lancasters for 15 months, from 1942-44, on continuous ops throughout that time, and along with many others over that period, sacrificed his life, together with the rest of his crew, on 20/21 Apr 44. As always, thank you.

Good afternoon all,
I'll be sending the finished artwork off this weekend to the printer and will be in touch with everyone who's kindly requested one our shirts via PM as to cost and payment methods in the coming week.
They can either be posted or collected from BN, as you wish.
See you all in a few weeks.
You'll also be pleased to hear that the truck formally known as the ' popemobile ' will be wearing it's full livery which was sadly missing last year. Decals are in hand and due to be applied with in the next couple of weeks.
All the best
Rusty

Thanks to all that have already coughed up. Those that haven't....excluding our international friends....Sausage will be sent to you NAKED to collect your dues and those that refuse will be trussed and flayed........... You know who you are.
See you all in a field in France.

Top one is an Ilyushin IL76
Quote
Narrative:
A Russian Air Force Il-76MD transport plane registered RA-76825 was ready to depart from Makhachkala Airport (MCX). The airplane, with a crew of seven, taxied to the runway. At the same time another Il-76 (RA-76827) came in to land. The wing of the landing aircraft struck the flight deck of the stationary airplane, ripping away a large part of the forward fuselage. A fire erupted. Three of the seven crew members died. The landing Il-76 suffered damage to the wing but none of the 31 occupants were hurt.
Makhachkala has a single runway (14/32), measuring 8688 × 230 ft (2648 × 70 m).

Well.
The little daggers were very pretty, in fact the general workmanship, right up to the ceremonial and samurai swords was very impressive.
A hand gun and a bunch of rounds looked good value, and I was led to believe an AK47 with 33 in the jacket could be had, under the counter, as it were.
In the end I settled for a Snickers.
