Three pictures so far with more to come when the bears make their triumphant return. The photo's show the 'female' H4H teddy bear (less of a stomach!!) first with 617 Sqdn boss, Wg Cdr Taylor, and then a second photo with Flight Leuitenant Jane Pickersgill the Weapon Systems Operator (no longer call them Navs) on the Tornado GR4.
This teddy is identified differently from the other by a Dambusters Tornado patch which has been sown on to her rugby shirt and she will be the only one flown by the 'Boss'.
The third photo shows our H4H teddy high over the Kajaki Dam. There are other pictures of the teddy with the aircraft in-flight refuelling at 23,500 feet altitude from a KC10 tanker! How cool will those be????
The honour of flying with the 'boss' of the famous 617 'Dambusters' must make the value of this bear at auction something special so start saving ahead of the auction to be held when the teddies get back to the UK. Certificate to confirm the flight etc. has been done and all will be posted back to the UK when the other teddy has been flown.
In the meantime please match the obvious support of 617 Sqdn, the Dambusters, for our cause by going to www.bmycharity.com/dambusters2012 and donating on-line to Help for Heroes. It really doesn't matter if it only a small donation - they all add up!! Thank you very much.
