It looks like a military medal. Is it British?

I don't think so, British military (don't know about civic) medals are always symmetrical.

Close enough...he received it for the part he played in serving on Russian convoys.

I well recall from your post of well over a year ago! That was simply a cold long shot for me-proof I've not lost it completely...just the short term memory! What's this from ?

BINGO! Again! The one at my daughter's Air Museum McMinnville OR has the wheel cooling fans too on display The SR-71 also holds the "Speed Over a Recognized Course" record for flying from New York to London—distance 3,461.53 miles (5,570.79 km), 1,806.964 miles per hour (2,908.027 km/h), and an elapsed time of 1 hour 54 minutes and 56.4 seconds—set on 1 September 1974. Who needs canards (planned originally) when ya got...chines?!!! The thing just looks fast!

A planet Mars picture.

Taken from the excellent USA's last robot mission on this planet. And which is still doing some good and interesting work out there.
