We have been contacted by Orchard Court Care Home in Brigg, they currently have an RAF Veteran called Eddie, staying with them who turns 102 years old on 3 September.
Eddie served as a Wireless Mechanic with the RAF between 1942 and 1947. In 1946, he took part in the RAF's goodwill tour of America as part of Operation Lancaster, travelling with a fleet of 16 Lancaster bombers. His story has even been featured in an RAF magazine.
It would be fantastic if we could have some serving personnel and veterans attend Orchard Court on 3 September 2026 from 1.30pm onwards to wish Eddie a very Happy Birthday. It would mean a great deal to him to be surrounded by members of the Armed Forces Community as he celebrates this remarkable occasion.
If you are able to help transport can be provided from a central pick up point. Please contact Adele on 01482 014388.
Lets make this a memorable occasion for him and give him a celebration to remember.
