Sir Sydney Camm Memorial – Fund Raiser

Hi All

Hopefully it is OK to post this event information as money raised goes towards the Sir Sydney Camm Memorial Project. The plan is to have a full size replica Hawker Hurricane produced, that will be situated in Alexandra Gardens, Windsor.

Iain Arnold is bringing together an amazing group of gentleman who have flown some of Camm’s most iconic aircraft for a signing event to raise funds and help make this memorial a reality.
