Details on How Much Well Be Donating to the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust

Now that Spitfire Jack is almost out the door, we can reveal the details of the donation we’ll be making. When we sold the shirt, we pledged to donate $1 from the sale of every shirt to the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust, the organization that maintains the memorial to the men who fought the Battle of Britain. They’re raising funds to build a new museum on the site.

We sold a total of 173 shirts, which means we’ll be making a donation of $173 to the Trust.

Thank you so much to everyone who bought a shirt – we’re chuffed to be able to make such a large donation and it will certainly go to a good cause!

The Sound of Victory: Amazing Video of 16 Classic Spitfires Flying in Formation at the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

Screen Shot 2014-04-23 at 8.35.34 AM

This video is so cool that we just had to share it. There are only a few airworthy Spitfires left and back in 2010 to mark the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, they managed to get together 16 of them to do a flypast in Britain. It’s an amazing site – something I wish I’d seen in person!

The planes fly in formation and then after that, they chase each other around like they did in battle – show their power and maneuverability. It will give you goosebumps!

Put some headphones on and then watch this on full screen. You won’t regret it!

There’s still 2 days left to get our Exclusive Spitfire Jack t-shirt during it’s special reprint run. It’s going to make a fantastic Christmas present!

Video: History of the London Red Phone Box

Here’s a segment about the Red Phone Box from a lovely little show that aired many years ago called Disappearing London hosted by Suggs (from Madness). I’m sharing this segment because it gives a little bit of history behind the iconic London Red Phone Box that is actually very interesting. It also explains the differences between the different types. Check it out.
