PRINCE ALBERT WINS HIS WINGS

In 1918, Prince Albert went to Cranwell and was given a desk job (1). He was "penguin," without wings.

When he flew to France in October in a Handley Page bomber (5), it was not in the pilot's cockpit but in the gunner's.

More pilots were killed in training than in action. The King decided his son would not learn to fly.

Prince Albert decided he would.

He did, in 1919, in an Avro 504 J biplane (2).

He motored over from Buckingham Palace to Croydon and went through the same training as any other pilot (4).

In due course he became Marshal of the R.A.F. But the uniform he was most proud of was his uniform of I9I9 (3). It had two rings— and wings.

upsilon if u showed me your collection id go Yippee!!!! and Yay!!!! and you'd get n offering worthy for a god

<UPSILON> An offering worthy of a god... Well, who am I to decline?

<UPSILON> This is my latest attempt. I suppose it isn't too horrible.

<UPSILON> Here's one I suppose I don't feel too horribly about. The process of creation was relatively interesting, as well.

<UPSILON> I did not exactly wish for a dead bug to be in my artwork, both out of respect to the bug and for personal squeamish reasons, so I simply used its body to create a mold, then painted the inside to match it. It was... really fun, I will admit here.

<UPSILON> Although the resin is a bit lopsided, I think it looks quite good. Most likely my proudest piece..

<UPSILON> Mmm.

<UPSILON> That's all I wish to share for now.

yooo quietttt what do you think about that iterator that supposedly found the solution? not sliver of straw, but, ui:) any thoughts on him? also sidenote any thoughts on that giuy that sent you anonymous messages and told you to basically fuck off in all caps? these two arent related btw

<BVQT> Very funny.

<BVQT> As this broadcast is private enough I suppose I will speak freely.

<BVQT> I am aware of the fact that the echo that Feathers is communing with, the iterator who recently died and Feathers' "one and only friend" up until a few weeks ago are all Untitled Iterator.

<BVQT> From what I have seen it is clear that his influence on Feathers is an almost strictly negative one. Perhaps even worse than that Eternal Anomaly's effect on both him and Sunrise.

<BVQT> I do not trust him. I have prayed in hopes he will find the end he seeks but honestly I am not sure if he deserves anything less than

<BVQT>

<BVQT> Apologies. It is a bit cruel to say that towards someone I hardly know.
