If you are interested in getting your hands on this superb collector’s piece, email bids can be sent to davidbickers@hotmail.com clearly marked in the subject line "Spitfire Bid". Bidders should clearly state their maximum bid and give their name, address & contact telephone number so as, if successful, delivery/collection can be arranged with them.

In either case bids must be received by midday on Tuesday 23rd October; any received thereafter will not be accepted.

About the Bader Foundation
The Douglas Bader Foundation was formed in honour of Sir Douglas Bader in 1982 by family and friends – many of whom had flown side by side with Douglas during World War II. Douglas was honoured in 1976 with a Knighthood for his contribution and work on behalf of the disabled. The mission of the foundation at its inception and today is to continue Douglas’ work in conjunction with and on behalf of individuals with a disability. Website: www.douglasbaderfoundation.co.uk
