A BIG BIG Thank You . . .

The Assault Glider Trust would like to give a huge thank you to Mrs M. MacDonald, Mr M. Bishop and Mr J. Dilworth for their generous donations to the AGT Archive. Mrs MacDonald generously donated her husband’s personal effects from the War including photographs, printed material relating to operational activities and War Office issued flying glasses! Mr Bishop donated his father’s personal diary and scrap books which provide very detailed accounts of what he witnessed and encountered during the War and, of particular note, what happened to him during his time as a POW. Mr Dilworth very kindly provided us with a donation to help towards project costs and not only that he provided us with a Record of Service which details his activities during the War.

All of these items provide a lasting testimony of each individual’s experiences and are not only a fantastic addition to the Archives but act as useful teaching aids to inform Children of wartime activities. The Curator and Archival Volunteer are currently looking through the material and will provide a detailed information pack about the donations in the New Year.

Merry Christmas from everyone at the Assault Glider Trust and we wish you all a Happy New Year.
