The drawing on the wall above the computer was done by a poster here RedDog (Joel). He did it from a scan of a painting that was commissioned by the fellow flying the Swordfish....Mr. Geofrey Bird.

Both Joel and Mr. Bird signed it.

Thanks BigPlay for the offer. I'm currently just looking for two more prints. Both Taylor's. "Eagles out of the Sun" and a Publisher Copy of the "Mighy Eighth-Outbound". But since I'm in a holding pattern till my finances improve, I'm waiting. I will contact you when the time is right. :aok
