Sir Douglas Bader – Centenary Birthday Today
Had he lived, the eponymous inspiration of the Douglas Bader Foundation, would have been 100 today. We acknowledge his Centenary Year and feel sure that he would be proud of the new initiatives and Events that the Foundation has in place to honour it. BADER BRAVES, launched on the 10th February, is now up and running with several Events already in the pipeline and to be announced on the Foundation Website very soon, and we have another exciting string to the Foundation bow also to be announced shortly.
In the meantime please enjoy a few photographs from Sir Douglas’s extraordinary life:
