defluocor Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi Jason, I share your sentiment and will begin spreading the word. Any Dambusters, Spitfire, Lancaster and Pegasus Bridge vets get my vote so I am very pleased at the announcements. I've even changed the date of my stag do so I can make the event. All the best!

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted January 21, 2009 Author Showmasters Admin Share Posted January 21, 2009 thanks for this you doing that WILL help us keep looking for and bringing more WWII guest to the events to meet before we are to late we do not intend to bring most of them back twice so if you are thinking of meeting some of these guest do so as in most cases it will be the only chance you will have so it will not be like most of the TV & Film guests so meet them when you have the chance see you all there jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shearwater Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'll plug these wonderful guests like mad on my Space / Aviation sites: http://www.thespace-station.com/Findex.html Well done guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 You may have gone down both these roads already but have you tried the British Legion, they most have a lot of contacts with ex-servicemen, especially those who have fallen on hard times and might welcome some income from a show like this. The only other suggestion I have is a bit round the houses but as you had Joanna Lumley at the last show and she did a lot of work during the recent efforts to get Gurkha's residential rights, would it be worth contacting her representatives to see if they could put you in touch with anyone? Like I said you may well have tried both these already so apologies if it sounds like I am teaching you to suck eggs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Fooku Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I've just realised I misread your original message! I'd got it into my head that you were looking for contacts for WW2 guests as opposed to promoting the event! Should have known you'd have all that in hand!

Aldrin Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Have you tried advertising round the college and university circuit sure the history students would be interested, likewise the WW2 re-enactment people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
