New Silver 56 Squadron Lightning and Shackleton MR2

New Silver 56 Squadron Lightning and Shackleton MR2

We have just added a silver colour scheme 56 Squadron F1 Lightning and a Shackleton MR2 to the embroidered clothing range.

The silver 56 Squadron Lightning complements the existing 5 Squadron and 11 Squadron Lightning F6 clothing designs.

The Shackleton MR2 is in the earlier white colour scheme and complements our Sea Grey Shackleton MR3 aircraft.

56 Squadron Lightning F1

The Lightning F1A embroidery is based on the 56 Squadron Firebirds display aircraft that were based at RAF Wattisham in the early 1960s.

The F1A Lightning was a very early development of the aircraft type and featured only missiles with no gun. The focus at the time was rate of climb performance and high speed.

Shackleton MR2

The new Shackleton embroidery is based on the MR2 version and is in a white colour scheme with dark grey upper bodyside.

The Shackleton MR2 development saw the aircraft fitted with an upgraded radar which was housed in a new radome behind the bomb bay doors.

The design depicts the dorsal gun turret. This turret was removed shortly after entering service but I have modelled it in place.

GDMK Images July 2022 News

Desert Storm Tornado Mil Green T-shirt

Hi everyone, welcome to the GDMK Images July 2022 news update!

There are a number of important things to bring you up to date with.

Discontinuation of Material Printing

Earlier this year, we encountered intermittent problems with our T-Shirt printing equipment. The long and short of the situation is that, despite a lot of support from the supplier and manufacturer, the equipment is not economically viable to repair.

Unfortunately this means the following items are discontinued –

  • Printed T-Shirts
  • Small Bears
  • Leather Bound Hip Flasks
  • Tote Bags
  • Face Masks

Blank Product Delays

Earlier this year you may know we were advised by our blanks suppliers about supply chain delays. After a period of relative stability, our suppliers have advised us of more short notice delays to incoming blank products.

Particularly affected are certain colour combinations of Varsity Jackets and Hoodies. In some cases one particular group of colours wont be arriving into the UK until Jan 2023 if you can believe that!!!

As an example, a customer ordered a particular hoodie colour combination in October last year. We were advised of a delay, so the customer opted to change colour combination to avoid a delay. The batch of hoodies finally arrived at the end of May! The supply chain issues are still very real and affecting every aspect of our lives unfortunately.

Also affected to a lesser extent are mousemats, wallets and, in particular, certain iPhone and Samsung phone cases.

Please bear in mind we have access to many suppliers for all our products and we can usually source a blank from somewhere when our main suppliers are out of stock.

Please note, we will not sacrifice the quality of the products we supply. There are other suppliers that supply blanks which are not of the standard we usually supply – that is fine and there is nothing wrong with that – but having established a solid reputation for quality products, we wont sacrifice that by short cutting quality and using cheaper quality items.

Please accept our apologies in advance for these potential delays and inconvenience.

New Product Line – Laser Etched Gifts

I have long wanted to offer laser etched products. I am delighted to announce a collaboration with JAM Arts who will be producing laser etched renditions of some of our iconic designs on a great range of new and novel gift products.

We trialled a small number of items at both East Kirkby and Cosford airshow. The products were exceptionally well received, witnessed by selling out within an hour of being put out on the stall!!

Needless to say, the success has encouraged us to add them as standard lines to the online shop over the coming weeks and months!

Keep an eye out for an upcoming post that will showcase the products and designs!

New Product Line – Embroidered T-Shirts

Following many requests and successful tests on the stall, we will shortly be adding embroidered t-shirts to our product lines. A nice lightweight alternative to our ever popular polos shirts, you will soon be able to get all your favourite designs on a t-shirt!

The brand we use has been tested for washability and shrink resistance and has received great feedback from customers who who have bought them from the stall.

Customers report the t-shirts was really well, keep their colour and no shrinking after multiple washes!

New Embroidered Designs

We have been really pleased to receive many, many requests for personalised clothing tributes from customers.

Many of these involve new World War 2 aircraft types and Squadron variations.

We add these aircraft and squadrons (albeit with different aircraft markings and codes to protect the uniqueness of the customers personalised designs) as options to the Classic Military Aircraft range.

Added recently, or to be added shortly are the following aircraft types and squadrons

Thats All For Now Folks!

Thanks for reading and dont hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions about the topics discussed above.

We really appreciate your support so far in 2022.

Stay safe

Falklands War 40th Anniversary Commemorative Clothing Launched

Falklands 40 Sea Harrier FRS1 black and white Varsity Jacket snippet

Falklands War 40th Anniversary Commemorative Clothing Launched

Its hard to believe that 40 years ago the Falklands War started following the invasion of two small islands by Argentinian Forces.

I was 14 years old at the time and my first thought was how did the Argentinians get to a Scottish Island with no-one seeing them coming?

In reality, I think a large part of the British public had a geography lesson after reaching for their world atlas to see exactly where the Falkland Islands were!

Which Aircraft Are Part of the Falklands War 40th Anniversary Range?

The Falklands War brought out the best in British Military resolve, ingenuity, bravery and courage. 

To commemorate the bravery of the aircrews involved in the conflict, I have created a 40th Anniversary Commemorative design featuring 4 aircraft types that were involved –

  • Sea Harrier FRS1
  • Harrier GR3
  • Vulcan B2
  • Victor K2

The full design features an outline of the Falkland Islands with the number 40 in red (red being symbolic of 40th anniversaries). Below the islands is a side profile of your chosen aircraft.

Which Garments Are Part of the Falklands War 40th Anniversary Range?

The 40th Anniversary Commemorative design is available on all of our standard garment items plus a new style backpack –

How do I Personalise This Design?

All 4 of the new Falkland’s War aircraft have been added to the veterans personalised range. Via these products you can create a truly personalised garment to commemorate your veterans service.

Examples of Personalised Commemorative Designs

What Other Commemorative Designs are Available?

Th Falklands War 40th Anniversary design is the latest in our commemorative clothing range. Other designs are available to commemorate –

GDMK Images January 2022 Update

U2 Black Heather Varsity Jacket snippet

GDMK Images January 2022 Update

Hi everyone I hope you have recovered from any Christmas and new year excesses.

Here is a quick update on where we are in respect of new designs, supply issues and potential shows.

First off let’s deal with supply issues and get that topic out of the way.

Mug supply has settled down and once again we are able to get regular deliveries of standard size mugs.

Unfortunately, supply of the larger mighty Mug has been extremely frustrating to the point that I have temporarily withdrawn them from sale. Once I can get regular quality supplies of the large mugs, I will reactivate the option in the web shop.

Wallets and mousemats seem to be becoming more readily available as well.as coasters, although coasters are still proving to be somewhat erratic in availability.

Now onto something a bit more positive – new products and designs!

New Polo Shirts Colours

Following many requests we have added Military Green and Kelly Green polo shirts to the range. The Military Green coloured polo is perfect for our Military Vehicle range and many of our aircraft embroidered designs.

A-10 Warthog, B-52 BUFF and F-15E Strike Eagle Now Standalone Aircraft Types

81st FS A-10 Navy Red Hoodie

A-10 Warthog, B-52 BUFF and F-15E Strike Eagle Now Standalone Aircraft Types

I have started to add the aircraft types featured in our Desert Storm 30th Anniversary commemorative clothing range to the Classic Military Aircraft clothing range.

You now have the option to buy these iconic aircraft types as both a Desert Storm commemorative garment and a Classic Military Aircraft garment.

If you haven’t seen the CMA range, the design features the aircraft name and service dates. Check them out as there is in excess of 30 aircraft types now!

New Additions include the following types and squadron options – 

A-10

  • 511th TFS from Alconbury in Camo colour scheme with sharks mouth nose.
  • 81st FS in standard grey.

F-15

  • 335th TFS F-15E from Seymour Johnson

B-52

  • 806th BW B-52G in Desert Storm colour scheme
  • 96th BW B-52H in standard grey.
[ux_product_categories style=”normal” columns=”3″ ids=”12478,12480,12554″]

Desert Storm Variants Added to Existing Aircraft Types

I did several aircraft types that already existed in the Classic Military Aircraft range in Desert Storm colours for the Commemorative Range.

The following aircraft are now options in the CMA range – 

  • 16 Sqn Tornado ZA447 ‘Mig Eater’
  • 12 Sqn Buccaneer 
  • 6 Sqn Jaguar
[ux_product_categories style=”normal” columns=”3″ ids=”12578,12421,12225″]

Request New Aircraft Types or Squadron Colours 

Each aircraft type on the Classic Military Aircraft Range provides an option for you to request the design in new Squadron colours or markings for a small additional charge.

If you would like an aircraft type not currently available then use the products in the Personalised Aviation Clothing range. These product allow you to request new aircraft types and also the provide the facility to personalise your design.

Aircraft Types in Progress

I’m currently finishing off the Victor in Desert Storm colours and a 1960s Camo scheme.

Following these two designs I have the following to work through –

  • Australian F-111 to add to the existing 494th TFS design already available
  • B-17
  • B-24
  • P-51
  • P-47
  • Hawk

Classic Military Aircraft Range Overhaul

I’m also in the process of overhauling the way the CMA range is presented. Originally, all designs were available under a single product, with each aircraft as a drop-down option.

Following feedback, I am breaking each aircraft type down into separate products grouped together in their own Classic Military Aircraft Category.

This process will take a little while longer, so if you cant find a particular product under the aircraft type category, every aircraft type is available as a drop down option in the personalised aircraft range.

Thanks for reading and please let me know your thoughts on these aircraft clothing designs!

Stay safe

Gary
