    A letter writer's dilemma

    A scan and colour print should do the trick. Might even be able to find some thin paper to print it on. Modern printers can print on almost anything.

    Just a bit of gasoline on the fire - ;) : I am pretty sure my BD (with rank, wing and DFC) is not original - but a movie prop from some TV series or movie production. Why should I remove the wing and DFC ribbon, when the guy who wore it before me did not earn it either. He was probably just...
