A very charming miniature of a distinguished pilot and diplomat.

he carries a cane too

Thanks for sharing the link! I'd never heard of him before, but when I first saw this thread, I knew his would be an interesting story.
I also wondered how he accommodated wearing a flight helmet with his turban.
This figure would look great next to a model of his mount.

Prost!

I found some more links with some interesting photos, such as this one of Hardit aboard a Sopwith Camel at Manchester in March 1918...


...or as a cricketeer...


...as well as a biography...


...but so far, no luck with his special flying helmet.

Hi Brad,

According to the Royal Air Force Museum in London, Malik "...somehow managed to fit an outsized flying helmet over it [i.e. his turban]."
Whatever that may have looked like. But like I said in my other post, so far no luck with any images of him as the "Flying Hobgoblin" .

Nicely done. Bags of character. Well done
