Hi Mark,

Well done mate. Any chance of a pic?

I don't collect these Mark but found a great antique shop up in Taos the other day which had a huge collector of wings for sale. Mostly US, some RAF sweethearts and also some Free French items (note the store's owner was French.

Cheerio,

Roy

Thanks Mark,

A really lovely piece this find. Some of these US wings are really lovely, I can understand why you would want this one.

I have always been tempted by the early balloon wings - maybe one day!

Cheerio,

Roy

Thanks Roy,

It's not really my thing, just thought I'd see if anybody here collected wings.
