Re: F/L James Nicolson VC painting ...
Wade
Wonderful painting, but he certainly held the rank of Flt Lt (even substantive) as at 16 August 1940 and certainly had Flt Lt rings on his sleeve at that time. It sounds like nit-picking as well, but his mae-west that he habitually wore was certainly one that had been doped yellow over the khaki canvas. It still exists.
Anyway, not being critical for the sake of it - just trying to help you get it right!
