Good news - both in terms of the opportunity to meet him again, and also in terms of him being well enough to attend. I'd heard that he wasn;t all that well, so it's good to hear that he's OK to attend the event.

 

One of my prized items is a British War DVD box set signed by him, Sir John Mills, Donald Sinden and Sylvia Syms.

Well done to all involved!

I have been watching a 3 hour video set some one lent me '80th Anniversary of the RAF' and it has Richard Todd introducing various parts of it! In September I am presenting a talk to my local astronomical society about the Peenemunde raid and a nice signed picture of Mr. Todd as Guy Gibson would be excellent. What pictures will be available? Any with him stood next to a Lancaster?

Regards and best wishes to all

Is Richard Todd OBE still attending the event? I ask because I've just been on the Autographica website and he isn't on the guest list page where he has been. There's a new guest in his place (Bettina Le Beau).

Not Burt, surely?! :blush:

 

Great announcement - just trying to find something suitable for the ocassion now. I'm really struggling to find a Dambusters poster which is what I ideally want signing, but there are very few available. Only one I can see on ebay currently has already been signed by Mr. Todd, so it kind of defeats the purpose!!!

Ha, ha, I like that, you made me smile :D

 

I would like Richard Todd to sign my Dambusters book that 'Johny' Johnson signed last year.

As and when I meet other Dambusters, well get them to sign as well! :gorgeous:

 

So be there folks!

guess you are all getting excited!
