I have always loved the emblem for the Lafayette Escadrille. My wife is finishing up a painting for me with the emblem. Not finished yet. Needs some touch up and then she will antique it to make it look like it came off a Spad. Can't wait to hang it on the wall in the Hanger!

That's great work MFair thumbsup

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Thanks Gents! She was going to surprise me with it but I came home unexpectedly and whala. I will post a pic when she is finished. I can't wait to see it done.

That is something else altogether. Make sure she gets the oil leak stains right!

The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."

You are a lucky man Mark, not only because you will soon have that outstanding bit of artwork hanging on your wall, but more so because you have such a talented woman in your life who does these things for you. Best treat her very, very well.

I try but most likely fall short. As we are celebrating 39 years together next week I must be doing something right!

I think most of likely fall short in that regard. I'm still amazed my wife chose me to spend her life with. I definitely outkicked my coverage there.

Here is the finished Lafayette Escadrille emblem the good wife painted for me. As soon as it dries it will go on the wall in the hanger.

Thank you Gents! I will pass along the cudo's to Le artist Ms. MFair. I really do love the painting.
