Royal Flying Corps Display

[poppy1988]

Hi everyone!

Rob and I are working together to gather some RFC gear to put on a display at events. As we cannot afford a plane, nor can we transport a replica, we need ideas of what to put on display.

I was thinking like a workshop sort of scenario?

Any thoughts?

With my Lewis, two Coopers on their way and possibly another Lewis an armourer display could easily be done, just a few tools and a table, however one idea which could incorporate all my various bits of kit as well as paraphernalia including original photos etc is a sort of home front display, a table or two draped with a union flag, with items on display, labels saying what they are in old fashioned type as a sort of exhibition of what life in the RFC 'over there' is like.

Another could be a training base in the UK, it would require a bulky piece of equipment (but a simple and acurate version could be collapsible), basically consisting of a Scarff ring with a Lewis on used to train gunners

Here's an idea - we portray a Night Bomber squadron but in 'real time', so if we do appear from the tents during the day all we have to wear are pyjamas with maybe a greatcoat on top if it's chilly!
