Spitfire, tick!
Hurricane, tick!
Lancaster, tick!

Seriously, nice mug with an uncommon aircraft on it......
 
Quality Control to EU compliance?
Close! I spent a few decades working on International, European, and British product standards, chairing a few of the relevant Technical Committees. Occasionally got drawn in to discussions with my employer's customers about standards compliance and CE marking requirements. When I retired in 2014 due to some health issues that affected my ability to travel internationally, I was retained by a trade association to advise their members, but that contract ended in 2016 so now I'm a gentleman of leisure!

What about Tim our Order of the Thistle mugs. Representing Scotland & the Stewart name.

If you wan ta bit of history read on. If not -----

Two brothers from Normandy accompanied Will the Conqueror to thrust an arrow in Harold's eye & kill him. Accomplished.
Brothers two, sent to Scotland by Will, as stewards to sort Scottish law & order. The Stewards titles disintegrated into,
with Scottish dialect, Stewart.

And so my ancestry & now I live in seeing distance of where the Stewards came from.

Interesting Stewart & Stuart. The same ancestry via Robert the Bruce. Mary Queen of Scots, a Stewart, was sent to Paris to be educated
as Scots & English were not friends (no change then Nicola S.). French, as usual finicky, do not use W & Mary was using Stuart when
returning to thistle land.

Edinburgh toffs changed to Stuart . Glasgow types, down to earth whisky types, stayed Stewart.

Nothing wrong with Whiskey types....The Irish claim, God created whiskey so they wouldn't rule the world! :tongue-out3: Rick H.

Morning all .
Having woken up fully at 0330, I made a cup of tea and came back to bed. While perusing the forum I reread and caught up on this great page I thought I'd show my mug :smiling2:IMG_20210605_041205138.jpg

Well I guess mine can be posted again, I thought I had but not in this version.
It is a bit cramped at the moment due to having My computer deck and an extra Table in there.

LOL had to turn the lights on. ITS RAINING! Yeah!
The paining bench: You can just make out my compressor behind the chair.
20220819_123653.jpg
Build bench. With new mat!
20220819_123708.jpg
Nice long bench I can have a 2.5m long boat easy.
20220819_123718.jpg
One of two cabinets. the other, with the boats in is in the 'lounge'. (AKA the cats bedroom) Annoying class table anybody. £20 collection only!

My little computer desk. It's actually an Oak Dinning table that would otherwise been chucked out! Put the large pull out under the top and job done.

The reason I have the extra clutter is we started to redo upstairs. Then the world went mental and a 4x2 costs about a million pound each! (exaggeration makes the point). So all is on hold.

Such a cosy and useful setup, Ian. I super love the ceiling track lighting intended for the model cabinet.
