Thanks Mudge ... AW have you missed me ??    ;D ;D ;D   I  think I  must have been quite mad to do this .. The large version is a ginormous 19 mbs ... for a print 12 inches by 4 ! As for Scrimnet ...  I dont have any problem with what he posted  but thanks for being gallant  ;)... ...it's all information we all learn from ... and in the end I did want it to look as real  I want to as possible .. Trouble is my colour co ordination tends to revolve round clothes and Interior design ...old planes colours  are pretty low on my list of things I 'm  famililiar with !!  I have a feeling though that I could get addicted to  old soldiers !! ;) ;D ;D

Goodness me I have been out all day and buzy most of this evening ... WHAT A LOVELY RESPONSE FROM YOU ALL .. :-* :-* you're all very kind ...  But to be fair ... it wasn't  all that difficult ....just time consuming as there was just so much to do ..  Mudge !! How could you forget that you had been working on this pic !!???? I think I know every single face on it now !!
Dee Trish and Patrish ... Oooer girls  thank you for popping in to see all these lovely  airmen  ;) ;) and for being so generous with your support  :-*
Jenny,   I'll take you up on the  eyepads ..  Cold tea bags are leaving a stain .... and they make rotten tea  after ! ;D ;D
 Yvonne .and Genie ...    THANKS :-*...   ...I've learned a lot from this experience .... ::)
Think twice before opening one's mouth .... and never volunteer !! ;D ;D
Barbara and Judy ...    er this seems like deja vu ...  thanks again ..  :-* Rabbit ...   you've always been a staunch supporter of the work we all do on the restoration board ...we all appreciate it .. ;)
Dave .... oi dont you go volunteering me for that job ... but thanks  for your support too   ;D ;D
 Woolley  !!  I'm just really pleased that you and your family feel this is worthy of a place in your album ... I t means a lot  to me  .. Have pmed ya .. and last but not least  Scrimmers ....   Why do I always feel as if  I should be standing to attention and ready for inspection whenever you turn up ..... ;D ;D

 Actually I had just restored and coloured a load of soldiers on a pic  for woolley on a different board,   that he hadn't even asked for  and that was why I said I was getting addicted to old soldiers!  :D ;D ;D  I wouldn't dream of calling you an old soldier .... :o :o
.Not unless I had a fifty yard start anyway !  ;D ;D I hope I havent forgotten anyone who has been kind enough to post on here .. If I have ....  I'll blame it on deteriorating eyesight !! ::) ;D

Another great job Poll,  ;D

I have a long rolled up pic somewhere, I think it's either soldiers or a big board meeting around 1930's  ;)

but I'm not wanting it restored   ;) :P

LOL Margaret,  ;D

I couldn't scan it very easily, & flattening it would cause cracking  ;D
