Help A Dad!
Apologies if this is the wrong place for this BUT here goes...
My little lad has just had his bedroom re-decorated and is now seriously into fast jets etc...he's got an excellent bedding set of a Harrier (I would have killed for that when I was a little'un) but we need to source some decent posters & stickers etc for the walls.
Anyone know of, or can suggest, any suitable places to get some decent posters/stickers etc of military persuasion? When I was a lad, it was easy enough to rock up to the likes of the Mildenhall Airshow and come away with enough squadron stickers & posters to last a lifetime - of course that's not so easy these days!
Thanks for your help!

You could try writing to the PR department at BAE SYSTEMS at Warton in Lancashire. I used to work in Sales and we always had a selection of posters and stickers for distribution at airshows, but I left there about 9 years ago and subsequently passed all my stuff to our local ATC Squadron.
I don't know how generous they are these days.

Pop into your local RAF careers office and see if they can help. Alternatively ask them who at Inspectorate of Recruiting at Cranwell might be able to help.
Do we have a future JP (junior pilot) in waiting!?

totally none shiney, none fast in fact an antique heap.
If your lad would appreciate a poster of the layout of a a hanley page Jetstream cockpit (none mil) pm and I will provided.
In fact PM and right time right place and all the rest of the nonsense we can give personal tour and all the rest if a clapped out old turboprop will make a father and son day out.
PS I will understand if you can't be bothered seeing the old girl.

Folks
Can I just say thanks for the fantastic response to my request. One little lad is going to be absolutely over the moon! And yes, he's already talking about being a pilot and I for one won't be stopping that one!
It just goes to show what a great bunch of people you are *sniff*. It really is appreciated!
