    What a surprise in the post.

    This morning a package arrived from Jim and Samson.
    Along with some modelling parts he had very kindly enclosed this medal.

              Wow John. That is some pressie and so appropriate. Generous, kind, helpful people abound on this forum. When you hear the constant depressing news from around the world it's refreshing to know that on our little forum the good guys still hold sway.
              Jim

                    I've just ordered a fitting medal frame , has a decent gap to display the medal.
