Help for Heroes
H4H (Help for Heroes) gives solid, practical support to our injured Servicemen and Servicewomen – support not available to them elsewhere. Help them to carry out their vital mission.
H4, working with Erskine will be helping to fund the Pathfinder project for an Army Convalescent Centre in Edinburgh. Once proven successful, seven other similar centres will be set up nationwide. H4H is also a major player in the Help for Heroes Rehabilitation Complex at Headley Court.
In support for H4H, on 25th July 2009, the High Access Rescue Team and their main sponsors Ritchie’s Training Centre, are starting a world record charity abseil. Climb 45 metres on a tower crane’s vertical ladder, walk 45 metres along the cranes horizontal jib and then abseil 45 metres back down to the ground.They aim to raise 1 million pounds for H4H. The Emergency Services and the Military Tri Services are joining forces to make this challenge possible. By the end of the abseil, the teams participating will have completed the equivalent of walking, climbing and abseiling the height of Mt. Everest.

Beverley Painting
Re. the painting of a Beverley at the RAF Club
in Piccadilly.
Thanks to those who responded. Amongst them was the artist, Bob Murray. He wrote:-
“Dear Peter,
Re. your enquiry regarding the Beverley painting in the RAF Club.
I completed the painting a few years ago, and it is the original which is on display at the RAF Club. I’m afraid all the Prints have been sold, but it will be possible for me to obtain more from the Printers. They sell for £40.00 plus postage and packing. Let me know if you are interested. As a matter of interest I served two Tours on Beverleys (Nairobi and Abingdon) as a Flight Engineer.
Best Wishes Bob Murray”
For those interested in obtaining a print, please drop Peter Stubbs an e-mail. They will be passed on to Bob. Hopefully, he will get enough interest to get a print run done.
