Our charities for 2013 ......
Dambusters2013 will for the second year be supporting UK Forces charity Help for Heroes. This year we will also be supporting a small overseas charity which is using motorcycles to bring healthcare to remote villages across Indonesia too. Funds raised will be split on an 80:20 basis between the two charities as Help for Heroes remains core to our efforts and philosophy.
Help for Heroes : www.helpforheroes.org.uk
Motorcycle Outreach : www.motorcycleoutreach.org
Merry Christmas to all our blog readers!!

Dambusters old and new .....
Tonight I am posting a quite wonderful image taken by Richard Paver earlier this year. It shows a Tornado GR4 of 617 squadron flown by Dambusters2013's good friend Flt Lt Stew Campbell in formation with the battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Lancaster PA474.
The biggest challenge for the current Dambuster pilot was to fly that slowly! As Stew commented "We were flying at about 180kts with 5 tonnes of fuel on board - not very comfortable at all!"

Dambusters2013 is a charity motorcycle ride which will use the commemoration of the 70th Anniversary of the 1943 Dambusters Raid to raise cash for charities Help for Heroes (www.helpforheroes.org.uk) and Motorcycle Outreach (www.motorcycleoutreach.org). See our image below!
The 2013 ride will build upon the success of Dambusters2012 and will for the second year running enjoy the full support of 617 sqdn, The Dambusters!

Dambusters2013 - Planning meeting at Motorcycle Live 2012
The Dambusters2013 Team met for their first planning meeting last Thursday at the Motorcycle Live 2012 Exhibition at the NEC, Birmingham. First though - what a great show for the biker! New bikes, kit, exhausts, comm's, demonstrations ..... just a treat for the biker! Roll on next year.
Anyway, enough of that. Dambusters2013 is rolling - loads to do but we are on the move!
Watch this space for updates.
We have also been able to add some new and great supporters to the dambusters team such as Nich Browen of Motorcycle Action Group UK (www.mag-uk.org) and Steve baker MP, Chair of the Commons All Party Motorcycling Group. Great to have them 'on-board'!
We also picked up the endorsement of motorcycling legend, and I use that word deliberately, Nick Sanders! Have a look at www.nicksanders.com and you'll see what I mean. Just amazing. Get hold of a copy of his latest DVD, The Incredible Ride, - just exactly what the title says. Here is Nick with me and Al Hunter who is responsible for the Dambusters2013 website when launched during December.
So here we go - Dambusters2013 70th Anniversary Charity Motorcycle Ride. A fully approved event supporting Help for Heroes (www.helpforheroes.org.uk) as we did last year but now also supporting overseas charity Motrocycle Outreach (www.motorcycleoutreach.org) on a 80:20 split. Both incredibly worthy causes.

So stick with us and this blog - we need all your support again in 2013 as we seek to raise an absolute shedload of cash for our two charities. You can also follow us on twitter, currently @dambusters2012
Thankyou!
