I wonder if Flash is returnable if I am not completely satisfied with the product! LOL!

"Flash" sale? I know him - I don't think I could afford him!

Careful. Once you've bought him, he's yours - no returns. Caveat Emptor chaps
Well - the US Wing returned him in 2018!
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
That was because he was only on lend lease from the UK Wing. He is far too valuable to sell.
Looks like an attempted scam too me.
The War Office have now assigned him to a Safe House somewhere in the South of England under one of several assumed names.

Shapeways Flash Sale info now posted:

Sorry Dave, it appears that folks don't get the discount for purchasing you.
Got me for some ground targets and vehicles. Seemed inexpensive for a Dave - maybe I'll make a profit after I paint him and sell him back to the Brits.
As I understand it he comes ready painted and decalled on a presentation stand Chris.

Oh, sweet! When I heard about the Flash Sale, my first thought was "where am I going to get a big enough stand and the Flash Cards?"

Excuse my ignorance, but who is this guy?
Add this comment into the mix, and suddenly my Idea Hampster chugged a bucket of Red Bull, and now the wheel bearings are smoking!!!
Oi !!
So, like I did for the 2019 Wings of Prague dogfight set, I'm thinking of Ace Pilot card sets (Pilot card, and associated Ace Skill card(s)). Link: Wings of Prague Lend-Lease Raffle #3 - Vimy Ridge Scenario AirplanesWell, Mike could make the "Flash" cards.

If Dave [flash] wanted a set for one of his OTT campaign pilots, I could do one up. It would be like a Christmas prezzie?

A cunning plan my lord?

Trivia for The Lord Flashheart:
By the order of the ribbons above, the grade of medals is impressive. The minimum level of awards is as follows:
Name of Award: Post-Nominal
Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire: KBE
Commander of the Royal Victorian Order: CVO
Companion of the Distinguished Service Order : DSO
Military Cross: MC
Someone more versed in British honours can jump in, but because the Lord Flashheart is wearing undress ribbons, I assume the Knight Commander level of the above, not the Grand Cross of the OBE and RVO.
If I have the usage and orders correct, using the name in official correspondence should be written:
Squadron Leader, the Lord Flashheart KBE, CVO, DSO, MC
Was the first name of this character ever mentioned?
