I don't normally...

Post by petermcleland »

It is a small private publication for any squadron chaps still in contact. It is mostly about people, parties, picnics and aeroplanes! Anyway here is my finished cover picture:-

Peter, may I ask why 'Echo' has the letter 'A' in a disc on the Squadron emblem on the nose?

You've done a terrific job with that, Peter. It looks 3D. The boys will love it!
