Title: The War in the Air 1914-1918 £2 Sterling coin

Happy New Year to all, from the home of Auld Lang Syne!

It may be of interest to any numismatists amongst us that the Royal Mint has unveiled some new coins for 2017 including a £2 coin commemorating the RFC in WWI.
The very attractive design shows an overhead view of what appears to be an RE8 over target with observer busily photographing what's below.

I'll look forward to having some in my pocket and I'll doubtless keep an example or two for posterity.

Ceud mile failte, or, lang may yer lums reek!
Sandy

And a Happy New Year to you too, Sandy.

Don't you just love those RE8s, they get everywhere!

Best wishes
Nigel
