Greetings everyone, the day has finally arrived. After a big blunder with UPS sending this set to British Columbia instead of Ontario, everything has been fixed and this gent has arrived, albeit a little bit behind schedule! I now have the pleasure of introducing all of you to:
Warrant Officer 1st Class Bobby Bunting 409075 RAAF/RAF. This chap flew Spits with RAF #93 squadron in North Africa and Malta, where he became an ace and received the Distinguished Flying Cross. As well he was also awarded the US Distinguished Flying Cross for supporting an American landing at Salerno. This chap had a high price tag on him, but it was worth it, even worth the wait! The set is his #1 Tunic and Peaked cap, named and dated 1945. Unfortunately it's a dreary snowy day here in my part of Canada, so the photos don't do the rich deep blue colour justice.....
You may all be wondering where I found this? Well, let's just say a heartfelt thanks goes out to Gary Cain for this one!
Cheers, and hope you enjoy!
