This morning I received this E Mail from Robert Stitt who is the Author of
'Boeing B-17 Fortress in RAF Coastal Command Service'

Hi T.. and E...

Hope you can help spread the word...

We are a documentary team chronicling the loss and recent discovery near Port Renfrew, British Columbia, of a wartime Anson training aircraft. The investigation recovered the remains of one Canadian and three British airmen – they are to be laid to rest together in Victoria later this year, seven decades after their aircraft disappeared.

We would like to invite you to view a two-minute trailer introducing the project:

The Kickstarter site allows individuals and organizations to pledge support towards this project over a 40-day period. Pledges are only accepted if the project budget amount is reached. Kickstarter operates in North America, England, Australia and New Zealand.

We ask that you kindly share this introduction within your organization, among your friends and through your social networks (Facebook. LinkedIn, Twitter etc.). And if you would like to make a supporting pledge too, we would be delighted.

The pledging period runs to July 14, 2014. We sincerely appreciate your help and hope we can all bring this project to fruition.

Unfortunate spelling mistake, and not funny in this context.
