Cartwright backs Bomber Command fundraising12 December 2013
Haulage firm Cartwright Brothers has provided a van to the Lincolnshire Bomber Command Memorial Trust to assist with its fundraising efforts.
The trust aims to raise £5 million to create a 50-metre memorial with peace gardens to recognise the 25,611 aircrew from the UK and globally who lost their lives in World War II.
The memorial, called The Spire of Names, will stand on Canwick Hill above Lincoln and opposite the cathedral, which was used by aircrews as a sign of their safe return.
Cartwright Brothers Haulage has provided a branded van for Bomber Command to continue its fundraising activity until June 2015, in a sponsorship deal worth £15,000.
