A Well Deserved Gift, I think.

Dear All,

At 'my' Headway, there is a Very Kind Volunteer, who has been offering his Sevices for years. The lovely man has the Patience Of A Saint, never getting 'flustered', he even Works with people, who have, very limited 'vocal skills'.

This man's hobby is Model Aircraft and he, quite often, fashions his own. His second 'love'- other than his wife, of course- is Second World War aircraft. I have found, after some searching, a suitable photograph. It shows two Spitfires, in flight, the emphasis being on the Planes. I copied, this image, from the Internet, re- sized and printed it, prior to lamination- I then Framed it.

Without 'blowing my own trumpet', too much anyway, the final result looks Superb. I will dedicate, this gift, 'From Us All' and Hopefully be able to Present it soon.

It sounds wonderful AndrewT and a lovely gesture, something for him to hang on the wall. When I was a kid I did a few airfix models of Spitfire's. Do you remember, the little kits you could buy with transfers. 😊

That is nice of you to do. And, yes a phot here would be great.

One of my friends flew Spitfires during WWII. From what he told me it is something that wasn’t fun.

That's a lovely thought Andrew and I am sure it will be much appreciated by him. x

What a kind and lovely idea AndrewT. I'm sure he'll be thrilled. It's so nice to remember people who help us so much, in this way. 🙏

Beside providing a lot of pleasure to this person you will also experience great satisfaction yourself by your kind and generous actions. A lovely gesture indeed.

What a wonderful thought Andrew. I’m sure he will be chuffed to bits.
