Craig Fearn
I run The Aviation Gift Co., a UK business that sells personalised aviation gifts to order. Nothing is warehoused: a piece is printed after somebody buys it. The brand exists because generic aeroplane merchandise is easy to find and rarely kept, while a picture of one particular airframe usually is.
The writing on this site is mine. The guides, the sourced answers, the recipient collections and the product pages are all written here rather than bought in, and they describe what we make. Where a page names a size, a paper or a frame colour, that comes from the catalogue the checkout charges against, so a page can't promise you a product we don't sell.
How the aviation answer pages are sourced
Aviation writing repeats many numbers that cannot be traced to a source. My rule for the answer pages is that a figure carries a citation to whoever published it or the figure goes. Three of them went. One page had to abandon the confident three-part explanation everybody gives, because three of us went looking for a regulator or a manufacturer standing behind it and none of us found one.
Aviation guides and answers I write
- The guides: taking a frame worth printing, working out how big it can go before it softens, and picking between the five styles
- Aviation questions: flight, aircraft and airport explanations, with the sources named
- The gift: a page each for pilots, plane spotters, plane lovers and the father who still stops to watch
- On the wall: paper against canvas against aluminium, and which kind of picture earns which

How the shop works
How the business works, from the photograph you upload through to the courier, is set out on the about page, and the policy in full is on delivery and returns. If you'd rather start with the object, the formats page carries every size and price live.
