If anyone else intends reserving any tickets before Saturday evening at the Red Lion, please drop me a PM as I will not be contactable over the net as from 6.00 pm Friday evening.
A few more bits to add, they’re really flying in now :-
6 Sqn Jaguar baseball cap,
Chipmunk 60th polo shirt, and
a Spitfire t-shirt
All donated by a well known aviation photographer, sewing machine operator and forum good guy.
Another super prize, a copy of Alex Crawford’s book on the Hawker Nimrod and Fury. This has been kindly donated by a certain anonymous Australian gentleman with a passion for Tweed and old “British” Sports Cars. However due to the time constraints it won’t be in the pile of prizes at Legends, this anonymous gentleman will arrange for it to be mailed direct to the lucky winner.
Happy Independence Day!
Independance for who ???? 🙂

Had a call from a contact in the UK today, and it has been confirmed that some kind people at Duxford have donated a number of redundant pieces from their Spitfire, including a dive and bank indicator and glass fibre canon port. They have also included several T shirts and a calendar.
There is another item, which after a short discussion this lunch time we feel would be better off auctioned rather than raffled. Details of this will be posted a little later, it is well worth waiting for.
