I know personaly Air Cdr ret C Clarke that was in Stalag Luft III.
He would have been in Stangin last week but he is not well at the moment.
He had his hip replaced in Oct/Nov and caught a virus during the Christmas and New Year.
I also know another veteran that was in the same camp with him.

I am sure that they will pleased to find out, but also have second thoughts
when they think of the 50 that was killed after trying to escape.

We have just wrote our first check out to the RAF Bomber Command for 200 Pounds. Raised from the donations for the wristbands.

This is a great achievement in three months, we started this on the 22 October 2010.
And we have funding over for new wristbands .

And shortly we will have a new outlet in Lincolnshire that have kindly offered to offer them in their establishment.

We would like to say thank you to the Battle of Britain Memorial flight.
For adding the wristbands to their site to help raise funds for the Bomber Command Memorial.

During the weekend we have had people giving donations for them, one even placed a order for 30 for a Squadron reunion in May.

Barrie and I would like to thank The Aviation Forum for allowing us to promote the wristbands on here.
We have had orders via the email and also offers of a outlet.

You also have a thank you from an RAF Bomber Command veteran, a Lancaster wireless operator 101 Squadron RAF, who was shot down twice, escaped back to the UK and the second time ended up in Stalag Luft III, doing the Long March.

I met him via this article in the Horncastle News, he has raised 60 pounds with 30 wristbands I sent him, and will be offering even more in the Spring

http://www.horncastlenews.co.uk/news…rial_1_1473679

I have added to MoD Oracle, Police Oracle and British Forces Chat Forums that you have been so kind as to allow us to promote them, including a link back to your forum.

In October I made a video for you tube to help with the advertising,only I used the old wristbands that did not meet the requirements good enough to be given away for a Donation.

Now we have a new company as you have seen.

This Video is dedicated to the 55,573 RAF Bomber Command Crewmen.

Who gave Every thing.

this is great news.

If I may ask, I am at work and following www links is not easy:rolleyes:

is there a link where you can donate and obtain a wrist band directly ?

thank you.

BSG-75

At the moment we do not have a direct link to make a donation for a wristbands.
RAF Bomber Command will not do it till we can prove that they make money and they are.
We also do not have a pay pal account it will come later.
I have been planing this since April/May of this year and has taken till October to get to ware we are now. We have had NO help from RAF Bomber Command or the PR company that works for them.
They payed for the first 1,000 and the rest have top pay for them selves and they are. We have just placed a order for our second thousand from money raised in Holland, and we have enough for the third when needed.
All money raised in the UK will stay in the UK to avoid exchange rates we will ony trasfer what is needed

Barrie and I have done it from scratch.
I thought of the wristbands and how they should look and that they should have a meaning also.

Peter you are correct its 65 years to late

And now it will finally happen, this is thanks to Robin Gibb
and the people that have made a donation for a wristband.

What we forgot to tell you is the red area on the wristbands will only be on for 55,573 of them

One for each life that did not return after that they will be light blue.

Also the red area looks like its just stuck on to the band its not.
Its lazer printed on to the band, it will fade in time but you can still see it.

I was in Cyprus at the time and was driving from RAF Troodos to RAF Akrotiri.
The U2 crashed on take off at RAF Akrotiri for a mission and as a result the Ground Operations Cell and the Meteorological Office were destroyed. Six personnel died plus USAF Pilot Capt. Robert A. Henderson and many casualties with severe burns were treated at TPMH. The smoke was visable on the drive from 280SU RAF Troodos, Mt Olympus.
