Their expertise is limited to the real planes, and the model cases were neglected for a long time. So they needed a couple of guys who love to study the history.

And that's exactly why you have catalogue references. They must have once known what each model was, at least when they accepted them in their collections. Hence they (usually) would have given each model a reference number in catalogue and painted it in the object, for example under the wing, a bit like you did.

The references make it possible for even a moron like me to check from the catalogue what each thing is and what we know about it, if I don't know already. They would also make it possible for me to actually work in the museum much easier. If some old hand told me: "bring me that model of Fairey Fulmar", I might look like this: :doh:

Whereas if he said: "Bring me that model AFM 173_4", I could do it on my first day at the job.

Don't mind me, I just love museum catalogues. :DL

(sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, but they were taken with a cheap camera twenty-one years ago).
But they still show the beautiful model well enough, so what more can be asked? Nice shots.

Penguin, you should have been in Jesenice today.

As I was having my well deserved coffee, down the street walked a woman, perfect slender body and bright red hair going down her back all the way down to her thigs. :oops: I forgot how to breathe

No, just a passer by that took my breath away. A moment in time, never to be repeated, never to be forgoten... until the next red comes by :DL

That is, if he hasn't died of laughter after reading my latest PM to him. I fear the worst.

OK, posters picked up, one delivered to boss, the other up next to it's older brother for a photo session for you guys (because you really are that interested!). :yep:

If you knew it or not. :arrgh!:

It's final resting place will be on a clean bit of wall, the older version will be binned and that white board will return to it's natural state, at least until monday. :D

So, more grouting tomorrow whilst the girls are at ballet, a Count Dracula bouncy castle arriving for the back garden - for a three-year-old's party, her choice..., followed by said party late afternoon and hopefully on well into the evening for the adults :yeah:
