Ignatieff, sorry to spoil you marvellous tale.
Yuri Gagarin the cosmonaut, was born on 1934. Your tale is around middle/end 1920's so I am afraid that your pilot could not be cosmonaut;s grand father. I suggest to be his uncle!
Sorry, again.
This post has no meaning at all! it's only to show you that the period is not so far away from us. By the way cosmonaut's father name was Alexei and his grandfather;s name was Ivan [if I translated well the russian names]
The rest: marvellous, beautiful,outstanding etc
I'll give you that Argsilverson. Good spot. I blame Red Ted, he created the character! Uncle it is then!! All the games by the way are no later than 1926 as weapons starting getting more WWII than WWI
Guys - thanks again, I really appreciate your kind words.
I will post all the briefs at the weekend. Pictures should be ready within the month, courtesy of The Leagues in-house camera geek, V.I.Blackwood
