Anyone collect aviation art ?

Just wondered if anyone else fills walls as an obsession.

3 of the 7 book cases also shown. Moved all books myself last time to the current residence, never again.

No art work for me. The only thing I have is wallpapers.

Looks like you have a great collection.

Rather goes beyond a room but throughout the living area. Spare over opening spaces and narrow walls for dedicated ace photos

you are fortunate Mark have many many photos but concealed in my photo albums and data files, the Mrs and kid still living at home would not put up with all the WW 2 memories as it easily could be if I was single.

as LW and KM are my prime objhectives there is much stills tored in boxes and get a revamp of the office from time to time, maybe one day the Garden room will get a re-decoration although many ww 1/ww2 books are displayed there

My live in female is fine with it all, her taste is in the bathroom, kitchen, and other things.

Weekly cleaning of glass is the only non-fun activity.
