LANCASTER BOMBER

[glenpen]

My most exspesive pen I have ever made. Do I keep it or sell it. Cannot find any others for sale.

It's always a dilemma,...
I have made some very expensive / unique pens and there always keepers till someone offers me something for them... Yeah I can make another (but never do!)
What was worse I think was I paid serious money for a unique resin cast blank and then had nerves about turning it, incase I went too deep or split it.... I love this hobby!

All the wood as gone unless someone knows better so I will never get another chance to make another such pen

Glen during WW2 a friend of mine Laurie Ramsey a schoolteacher manual arts was seconded to serve in England as a tail gunner in Lancasters,on one notable occasion on the way home from Germany his plane was hit and he was ordered to bail out behind enemy lines. He dutifully did and made his way safely back to the UK. When I built our first home in 1954 he built 5 houses up our street and we became firm friends. Late in the War a Lancaster Bomber named G For George was parked out side the hanger at Canberra Airport and after that restored and in the Canberra War Memorial today,regards Peter.

A lad I worked with for 12 years was a radio op/rear gunner in Lancaster’s & he told me some hairy tales. I was in a Lanc at an aircraft museum in
Lincolnshire.

Very nice pen Glen. I would hold on to it for a while. Show people the finished article, you may find someone so interested that you may be able to sell it for more than you first though of.
At the end of the day, your choice, to sell or not to sell!
