    Fair point!

    Neither the first, nor that last time that I shall finish second (or further behind... who's counting?) to such a fine gentleman. May my "raffle curse" never sully your stoop.

    I'm happy too, Pete, I'm...
    I wonder where Herr Oberst found the balloon - even here in Prague they are totally sold out.

    I, too, purchased several chances at this lovely balloon - they're pretty scarce here in the States, too, Daniel...

    All the best,

    We have the coin and this balloon raffle as the first two. One more after this should be the three and a silver medal!

    Is the LL coin counting as a raffle?

    In the past 2 years that I have been here there have been 3 parts to the Lend Lease fund raising, a coin, then 2 raffles. If you contribute to all three you get the silver gong. Am I missing something?

    Probably not... missing anything, that is. I'll be honest, this may be my fourth rodeo (jumped in late on Andy's and missed Gunner's), but I can't remember if the LL coin counted as the 3rd part of the last two raffles, or was extra. No coins were stamped for the first two LL campaigns, so they each had three raffles. The last two... can't remember.

    If so, then it's most likely the delay in the awarding of gongs to those who bought a coin and into the first raffle that's causing the confusion.

    I'll take a quick look back and see if I can jog the memory.

    There were 3 raffles last year.

    [Edit]: Mischa is correct.

    Okay, memory jogged. Last year, the 2015 Lend-Lease campaign (to bring Skafloc across The Pond) consisted of three raffles, and the LL Coin.

    The 1st "raffle" was for the Grand Tour Caproni: http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/con...d-Tour-Caproni

    The 2nd and 3rd "raffles" each included a number of kites (4 for the 1st, and 6 for the 2nd), beautifully-repainted by members:


    It appears as though the LL Coin a reward in-and-of-itself, for those who chose to pick one up.

    The LL "Gong" was awarded based on participation in the three raffles... Basic for 1, Bronze for any 2, and Silver for all 3.
