Many of you will remember young Eachan Hardie, whose campaigning helped to bring the medals and log books of his hero, Captain Eric "Winkle" Brown, to the museum. Eachan has been on his travels, and recently visited The National Museum of Flight in Scotland, where Captain Brown's medals are currently on loan.

HMS Manxman, seaplane carrier WW1. This is the Rabbit King. Rabbiting is using government equipment for personal use – and sometimes selling the product to shipmates. Is his name King? Or was he just the best rabbiter on board?

We don’t really know why these ratings in HMS Ark Royal have made a sedan chair for the Captain, but we can only assume that they did it during their ‘Make and mend’ spare time.

These Wrens at RNAS Evanton (HMS Fieldfare) have been hard at work preparing for their Make and Mend time. It’s an effort to carry bunks out of the accommodation huts, and chairs don’t turn themselves upside down!

‘Our mess deck’ on board HMS Manxman, seaplane carrier, late 1918 or early 1919. Plenty of time to relax – the war is over!

Rare 1950s flying headgear comprised of a MK.1 flying helmet / bonedome worn with Mk.VIII goggles and type H oxygen mask. The mk.1 is quite a rare find, far more so than the slightly later mk.1A. #1950s #vintageflyinghelmet #raf vintage #vintageclothing #jetage
