Writing to Terry, Wg Cdr Tom Neil DFC* AFC AE RAF (Ret'd) says:
"SWA Fine Art Publishers of Bath (Tel: 01225 444 929, http://www.swafineart.com) have produced two excellent prints of my Hurricane, one at North Weald over the Christmas, 1940, and the other of my Hurricane (V9313) in action over London during the Battle. Both are in in Print and Christmas Card form and, being extremely well done, may attract many 249 members over the Christmas period.
The Bradford Exchange of Richmond Surrey (Tel: 0208332 0303) are planning to produce a special wrist watch as a 70th anniversary item, bearing my autograph and mentioning 249. Information is likely to be made avaiable to the public by 15 Sep 09 and the production of the watch will depend on the success the publicity is likely to engender. Again this is something that may attract 249 members and be a means of earning some funds for 249.
My original book on the Battle of Britain "Gunbutton to Fire" (published in the '80s and now out of print but selling on the internet for £250 a copy !!) is now being re-printed and will be re-issued in both soft and hardback in Spring, 2010. The publishers are Amberley Publishing Holdings plc of Chalford, Stroud, Glos. GL6 8PE."
Terry adds: 249-ers - start saving! The Christmas cards are available about now in packs of 10 of one picture - see their website.
