The Swanage Railway's plan to restore the Churchill car has received a boost
with the offer by a supporter to match fund, pound for pound, what the railway
can raise towards the project by 30th April up to a maximum of £5,000. The
Swanage Railway plans to use the inside of the 1932 built rail car to house a
small museum dedicated to telling the story of the logistics contribution of
the British railways and the men and women who operated them to the winning of
the Second World War. The offer follows a decision by the UK Heritage Lottery
Fund not to support the project, despite endorsement by the International
Churchill Society, the UK's Imperial War Museum, His Grace the Duke of
Marlborough and others.
The car was successfully returned to the UK last year from California.
Full details of the project can be found by following the attached link

at [email protected] or by phone on 44-7860-108754.
If you would like to support this project, please complete the form below and
return this with your donation. UK taxpayers can increase the value of their
donation at no extra cost by completing a gift aid form, which enables the
Trust to reclaim tax paid. A gift aid form is provided overleaf and if
appropriate we would ask you to please consider completing this if you have not
already done so.
Thank you.
