Missing painting found - 5 million quid?

Lost painting found in country house | NEWS.com.au

Check your walls everyone! Something tells me my two Robert Taylors aren't missing artworks...that's as close as I get to artwork (and mentioned to mess with Kitty's head )

So my pristine copy of the history of 618 Squadron that i found a couple of months ago in a second hand book shop in Buxton, plus the large collection of signed aviation art doesn't matter to you then Andy.

No, because the postage would be horrendous. :-P

You really need to share some more of your collection with us, Kitty, when you get the time.

Didn't know about the 618 book. Well done.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Yes well, had to bale on lectures for three weeks in order to get all the work done. But yes, when I have time to think again I'll get some better photos taken and start adding them to the site of my various collections.
