For something a bit lighter try http://www.caricatureaircraftpictures.com/
Edited to add; I've had a closer look at some of the commissions and they are absolutely cracking!

Guys,
Don't let this degenerate into Brits/Yanks slanging. My friend is justifiably proud to be joining the USAF and I'm proud to be in the RAF. Why look beyond that, when all I want to do is congratulate him with a personal gift?
G_F, thanks for the caricature idea... I think I'm going to look into that a little more closely.

Family? - When I was in, my family didn't get to see me, I didn't know my kids nor my missus and a social life was impossible.
God? - The politicians for whom we work are absolute bunch of of immoral, Faithless, Godless and souless bunch of hypocritical, selfish heathens, whom I wouldn't trust to sit the right way on a toilet.
Country? - Hardly anyone outside these threads knows nor cares about the Armed Forces - ask anyone in the street about what the Services do for them - you will undoubtedly get the 'i'm not boffered' response.
The US citizens treat and respect their Forces sooo much better than we do ours. Very sad but true -thats why I got out.
At least, when you work for a civvy firm, you know they don't give tuppence about you.

You can still get the miniature swords. RAF Museum Hendon sells them. How do I know, because we used to take the Basics there for a day and I saw one and nearly bought it. If I mind right it was about £30 - £40. It even comes in a beautiful wooden presentation box.
Hope this helps http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/ it even has a shop online (though I think the link is down as couldn't get anywhere) but there's a mail order catalogue and contact details.
I would go with your first idea and get the sword as it is beautiful.
Cheers.

L&F,
Thanks - when was this? I phoned the RAFM a couple of months ago and they didn't have any then. If you've been there more recently, it's obviously something I need to sort out!
Cheers!

Last time I went was last year before I went on Det then posted so it would have been about this time, but I'm sure they'll get them in again. Either that try Cranwell as I'm sure they'll have a contact. Failing either of those then I'm not sure. Hope you manage to get one.
