    I shall be looking to make the (short) hop up the A1 to 'sunny' Donny..
    Will have my youngest with me, though not sure on whether I'll be collecting the eldest from Carcroft or not (depends on university).
    Planning on dropping the Operating Authority off at Lakeside...

    Be great to have you Paul.
    If you are coming up Saturday your Operating Authority might run into Mrs Kyte, Tikki's Mary and Neil's SWMBO who usually pop over to Lakeside for shopping therapy during part of Saturday. Depends rather on when Sven's Nile game is on.

    Default Badges for Doncaster 2017

    BADGES FOR DONCASTER 2017

    Fellow airmen all,

    The artwork for the badges is being produced by the manufacturer as we speak.

    From the attendees list (Currently 28)?

    UNLESS you advise me you do not want one on this forum post i will procure one for you.

    They will be limited to 30 in total...

    Because of increased metal costs and potential additional process

    for white or silver text printed on black background, plus

    The Aerodrome 'donate' a number to 'honoured guests and visitors'

    to cover the cost (non profit making) the 2017 badge will be

    some where between Ł5.50 and Ł6 each (previously Ł5.00)

    I will confirm price once final invoice is received.

    To follow up on Mavs post.
    The badges this year will be the same basic design as last year, except the scroll will be in Black and the Motif "Doncaster 2017" will be in either Silver or White, depending which shows up better.

    Good point Simon Would a run of 40 cost much more. We could always sell the extras on E Bay

    One for me as well please.

    A handful of "spares" might be useful to replace any badges lost by their owner in the future. (Yes, that will probably be me!)

    I am discussing the Czech version with manufacturer right now. We'll see, we'll see...

  36. #136

    Default

    Good luck with the Czech badge discussion Dan, I look forward to seeing the finished item. Hopfully next year I will be able to obtain one ,I have SWMBO permission to attend in 2018.

    As for uk badges, I will post a pic of the badge options, most likely Tomorrow evening so you can see the design.
    Just to let you know, the badges have to be paid for in advance so any extras mean that someone is out of pocket, which is why we ask for a hands up to obtain one. If we get more than 30 requests we will see the company about making the number, generally the more you buy the cheaper they become, but this years badge is a bit special to make due to the design and materials. So we are looking for 30 requests, if more we should be able to get them but depends on request and if we are willing to pay.
    I want two myself as a spare is always handy.

    If anyone needs any previous badges pm me as we have a few left over from previous weekends and
    Ill check if we can help.

    Dang, David, I thought from your other post (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sho...Deserves-Favor!) that it was a scheduled visit.
    Doubly glad things checked out.
