A Stained Glass Window For The 219th Entry To Commemorate Our Time At Halton.
What better way to mark our 40th Anniversary Year?

In 1997 the then RAF C of E Padre at St Georges Church, the Rev Richard Lee, suggested that the Association encourage its members to install stained glass windows in the church to commemorate their time at Halton. The membership was immediately enamoured of this idea and soon windows, depicting Entry numbers, Wing colours, Entry badges, famous (and infamous!) Entry activities and a host of other events were appearing in glorious coloured glass: each telling something of its creator's time at Halton.

For example the 2nd Entry shows the tunic and puttees that the early apprentices wore and one of the aircraft types that was in service in 1922. The 76th shows badges of the Commonwealth Air Forces who sent boys to be trained with the Entry and includes a Russian Tank commemorating the Soviet invasion of Hungary which took place during their apprenticeship. - The 62nd Entry window depicts the Tornado which swept across the camp during their time at Halton causing much damage to the workshops.

We need to raise approximately £800-00 to make this happen.

The purpose of this Website is to:

1. See if there is sufficient interest to commission and fund a Window for the 219th Entry
2. Seek to form a small group to administer the project from design to dedication.
3. Lodge expressions of intent to donate money to fund the project.
4. Seek ideas for consideration in respect of a theme and design.
5. Act as a point of contact for the project.
