Well, we know it’s not quite our era but we have been invited, so we are pleased to say that the BPAG will be attending the Battle Of Britain Fly-In at Cotswold Airport on Saturday 18th of September.

We will have our merch stall and a few Phantom related display items onsite and of course the BPAG crew will be available to chat to all you prop-driven types about proper aircraft…

We look forward to seeing you there. Check out the event details at the Cotswold Airport Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/events/1042183689854712

An artist’s impression of the final appearance of the UK Phantom Heritage Centre at Cotswold Airport once all the work is complete. This is a good indication of what the site will eventually look like and what we are aiming for. The crowdfunder total currently stands at 23% of target, which is a great result for the first week and a real boost in morale for us to see how much support is out there.

Thank you to everyone who has pledged a donation so far but if you have not pledged yet (or would like to encourage friends/family or colleagues to) here is the web address for the campaign home page- www.crowdfunder.co.uk/uk-phantom-heritage-centre

We have today received the artwork proofs for the crowdfunder campaign supporter’s patch. The aircraft illustration is a tribute to Wilf Hardy’s 1985 RAF Yearbook graphic of an RAF F-4 (and represents a generic UK Phantom rather than any particular variant or Squadron). This is set against a backdrop of the British flag. The patch itself measures approximately 8.5cm diameter/3.5inches (the standard military patch size) and has a merrowed edge, to strengthen and avoid fraying.

You can obtain one of these exclusive patches by pledging a £20 donation to our crowdfunder campaign. Your donation will also entitle you to certificate, signed by the BPAG chairman, acknowledging your contribution to the campaign as well as an entry into a prize draw with a chance to win one of many Phantom related prizes.
