    When I was a young boy I would go potato picking to raise some money during the summer holidays with my brothers. It was in the early day of the R A F's Harrier Jump jets and I would watch with wonder as they bombed a local range and did their tricks.

    So anything do with the RAF has always delighted me. Today in a charity shop I found this condiment table ware set wit the RAF crest.

    I've often heard of Mappin & Webb but never found something reasonably priced to buy. So I today I found this table set and I was delighted.

    Its dated 1957 and its a shame its not silver.

      Such a neat condiment table set. The RAF logo really makes this a very cool piece!

      Hi,
      Beautiful!
      AM Crown mark is Air Ministry mark with Queen`s crown, indicating it was made by special order by Air Ministry and officially belonged to it.. Every RAF item had the crown (either King`s or Queen`s crown) and AM.
      Air Ministry existed until 1964.
