SIR - Thank you for the publication of the photograph of our sponsored period cycle ride in aid of the County Air Ambulance Trust taken outside the Farmers Arms at Birtsmorton. We raised a total of £1,422.
We would like to thank the many local people who sponsored us, especially Charles Robinson from Griffiths & Charles and Shirley and Martin Jarvis from Shirley Hill & Co.
Many of the cycles used on the ride were pre-1930. The Humber cycle Gill Ludlow was riding was previously owned by Clarence Bladder, sister of Bert Bladder, who were cycle and motorcycle agents in Sidbury.
We finished the day with a walk to where the Wellington bomber came down near Hanley Swan with the loss of seven Canadian airmen on the evening of August 11, 1944, after a mid-air collision. Another cycle ride is planned for early April.
BOB JONES,
Worcester.
