I'm sure someone will do this for you Chris, I had the same problem with a newspaper I needed.
There's a multitude of resizing sites but I 've found most of them long winded unless you are an experienced user.

COR chrees John yes hope so but it may not be possible as the small pics were done by Sooty sue on her printer but it was not fine enough on the inks to bring out the colours

I'll have a go at it. What do you need it painted on? I'll post something when it is done and if you like it I'll send it over the pond.

Sorry I missed this, Chris. I'd've been happy to have a bash at it, but I'm sure John will do you proud.

hi Chris

This is the clearest photo I could find - one option is to copy it onto a Word document and then resize the picture to the size you want before printing it, This is something I've done for things like flags

Chris, as I was saying on another thread 814 NAS badge is very similar. Only have to change the name and Motto!814NAS.jpeg
 
Well this just shows what I mean by this forum being so helpful to each other.
