What a marvellous display idea.
Beautiful models both, but the setting together is inspired.
Do you think DGM is asking BL if he might borrow the Spit for his next sortie over the lines?
Lovely

Brilliant Mike and I too think it is a good idea for a display ( I will have to steal it but it won't be a cochade ).
