OUCH!
Did you know that during WW2 if any of the aircrew on the bombers 'Cracked Up'....
Had a mental breakdown, (hardly suprising since the life expectancy of a tail gunner was less than 30 'OPS')
they would be dishonourably discharged from the service due "To lack of moral fibre", military speak for Cowardice!
Fortunately by WW2 we weren't shooting the poor devils for it.

Ah, I am enlightened.

And to your credit, you didn't crack on the constant onslaught of techno-orientated stress. Just a small wobble.....

Hi Lucas,
I'm not old enough to be a veteran of those days, but my parents/relatives all lived through those dark days!
When I was a young apprentice. I worked with a Polish guy who'd lost his family to the Germans and escaped to the UK to fight with the "Free Polish Army"...
I'm very proud to have worked/been a friend of Bruno Hecca, who's now long gone RIP.
Bruno was always an honourd guest at the Polish Embassy, he was a small man with a very BIG heart!
Now that I live in a country that has lots of young 'Poles', I feel/know that I should welcome all of them...
I know how much we owe those that came before him/them!
I might be a bit old fashioned but this is how I was brought up, in my family we always recognise our friends!

Steve

Small Polish Flags??
Make them BIG Polish flags and show them with PRIDE young man, your fore-fathers earned you the right!
If anybody says otherwise, point them in my direction, I'll soon put them right.

Hi Lucas,
Although an Englishman, I to have lived in an area where I was in the minority,
I felt isolated!
I took the desicion to wear them down with my "Niceness", it took a while but in the the end the local community accepted me, so much so that they offered to take my wife to the hospital when she was ready to give birth...
I was told "No matter what the hour, knock on my door and my son will take your wife to the hospital, Mr Steve"...
All of these people were Muslim's, I had nothing in common with them other than I lived in the neighborhood.
I've never forgotten those days in the East End of London and/or how friendly those folk where...

Steve

Make it these ones Luca, and the idiots won't know. Are you going to use them to cover up the "999" on your fairing?

Part of it. There will be a Ducati with Corse (Italian style) logo next to it and testastretta under in small. That will be the line covering Ducati 999. Then Second part is a bigger 749s to go under that Starting at Ducati. That flag would go over the Agip (Sorry nogaromill).

I think I know where are you coming from it looks similar to rail markings.
Mind you it is a flag used by polish air force...
