Royal Doulton Bunnykins Air…

As the Battle of Britain raged in 1940, Fighter Command depended on its radar and observers...and on the Air Controllers to co-ordinate the battle for air superiority. Deep in its bunker, Air Controller Bunnykins is ready with the headset to display air groups on a vast desktop map by pushing the markers with a cue, and feedback accordingly. Relax - Bunnykins are used to working underground. So give this brave little Royal Doulton figurine pride of place in your home. The first Bunnykins designs were drawn by Sister Mary Barbara. The daughter of Royal Doulton's General Manager, Barbara Vernon Bailey showed artistic ability from a young age. Her father's original bedtime stories about foxes and rabbits inspired a series of drawings, and many books were filled with sketches of other animals and countryside scenes.
