Wouldn't it be cool to get the Medals Going Home logo on a darts players top or a formula 1 car 🀣 ok... Maybe formula 2 or 3. Or even formula E. I wonder how you do that!

Would anyone be interested in this victory medal before I pop it back onto eBay?

I purchased it a couple of months ago because the story looked interesting and there were lots of direct descendants. However... Despite contacting a number of them... There is no interest in having the medal.

It cost me Β£30 so would be looking to recoup that back or thereabouts.

It was awarded to Harry Howlett 60740. Born in 1876 in Suffolk, Harry was a vanman who lived in Holbrook and Freston near Ipswich.

If you're interested in having the medal drop me a message and I can get it out in the post to you today πŸ‘

This may be of interest to any of you with links to RNAS Culdrose... Especially around 1949/50

The photos have been glued in. Approximate sizes are 12” x 9.5”. This is a must for. are the originals. of collectable books and photos. Grab them whilst they’re available. I have sold hundreds. and intend to keep it this way.

Would you be interested in being a part of this incredible story?

I REALLY want this painting. It's signed and also has extra details written on the reverse. The scene is of a local area which I visit pretty much every week. The artist has included himself in the painting and I've already done some research and identified living relatives.

I don't want to give everything away so I've included some teaser photos πŸ˜‰

It's currently for sale for Β£50 but I've got an offer awaiting response for Β£30. I can see that it last sold at auction back in January for Β£18.

I'd love to get it and then do a whole video about the location and the artist's life before returning it to a living relative.

If you'd like to be part of this amazing story then you can do so through Buymeacoffee. Everyone who contributes with a coffee today or tomorrow will receive instant updates on the story of the painting and details of research that I won't be sharing on the page. Visit the link in the comments to be part of this amazing story and help me secure this beautiful painting! Make sure you include your email address for updates! πŸ™β€οΈ

Maybe we could even add a list of names of those donated to the back of the painting too to add to its history and journey? πŸ€”

I've got another mystery parcel here. One that was returned because it wasn't collected at the post office.

If you want a mystery parcel containing something to research then drop me a message or a comment below and it's yours for the price of a coffee πŸ‘

Thanks to everyone who donated this week.We are nearly there. Only Β£60 away from target now!

Thanks to everyone who donated this week.

We are nearly there. Only Β£60 away from target now!

With less than a month to go until 2026 I thought I'd share an update on this year's fundraiser. We are just Β£175 short of the target

That's less than 1p per follower!

Every penny really helps keep this project going, help me keep on top of the outgoings, whilst at the same time giving me more buying power and confidence when it comes to securing the items before someone else gets them.

Even if just 10% of you, 1 in every 10 followers, donated just Β£1 that would totally smash the target and even set me up for the whole of 2026!!!

I can't do this without your help and support and it's been a great year so far with some interesting ideas of new things to do in 2026 😁

The link to donate is in the comments.

Thanks again to all of you for every like, comment and share πŸ™ Let's keep spreading the stories of Medals Going Home!

I turned an old suitcase into a glass coffee table.
