Much to my surprise I was able to add this little treasure to my collection.
Early RAF post war tuinc dated 1922 and named to George Cecil Gardiner.
Mr. Gardiner was credited with 6 confirmed kills in the great war and was in the first group of pilots to be awarded the DFC in 1918. Born March 28 1892, he died while serving his country for a second time on July 30 1940. He is buried in the Cairo war cemetary.
I need to do a lot more research on this gentlemen but wanted to share a few quick snapshots I took after I opened up my package this evening.
Thoughts? Comments? Advice? All is welcome and appreciated.
