I have now collected a total of just over £200.00 through the Where They Served project, some of which has gone to the RAF Charitable Trust as part of the Pre-War Prescott ticket donations, but the majority of course is for the RAF Benevolent Fund. My thanks to all those who have donated so generously so far.
It may seem as if things have gone quiet at the moment, but in fact it is all very busy behind the scenes. The airfields tour proper is scheduled to start in April 2015, and currently Ground Control and I are working on the itinerary, which is quite a big job. On the vehicle side, Thetford Engineering have booked Chattie into their vintage car workshop for a complete assessment and overhaul, which will happen, hopefully, at the end of September, and work on the car will I suspect be continuing throughout the Autumn months, as we also have to try and fit her with an all-weather hood. I am also working on raising sponsorship for next year. If you can help with this, or are interested in sponsoring Where They Served for the national tour next year, please get in touch.
Bearing in mind, that the very smart carrying vehicle is a Mercedes Sprinter.

The Mercedes Club Gazette did a full page feature on the project in the September edition, which is good publicity.
