The Aviator.



Talking of rabbits, I wish I knew the history of this aviator chappie. I've had him for years since being the only one to bid for him at the local auction (Gillian's 'Gladys' made me think of him). He is made in some sort of plastic, not quite resin, lighter, and he's hollow although his very sympatique expression shows he has a soul IMO. The detail is quite remarkable - his face is so furry you can almost feel it and his knitted scarf so very woolly. I feel he was more than a toy. His feet show signs of being stuck to a surface with cement (not concrete).
