I'm not sure of the criteria by which items are added to the MOD art collection, but in the past, if the MOD Art Collection web site is to be believed, most additions were made by donations, bequests and gifts and I assume these have dried up. So perhaps buying art is now the "accepted" method of adding to the collection. Further details here: http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/Ab...ArtCollection/

Meanwhile, this is Zil Hoque's Nimbus I.



Whilst the four purchased Louise Cattrell paintings can be seen here:

Pesonally I rather think some of Banksy's works of art should should have pride of place in some of our messes.

So how about this one for Cranwell?



This one for Odiham:



And where should these hang? Police Training College perhaps?:





Finally this is on a wall and is of a guardsman, so an Army barracks would be more suitable I think.
