83 yr old Jack built the Bristol so you can get up close to a WW1 aircraft. We need your help to pay him for the 2,000 hours he put in

Jack Godfrey built an amazing replica of the 1914 Bristol Scout, which featured on TVNZ's Seven Sharp twice! It was displayed at the Armistice in Cambridge event in November last year and will be again at the same event this year.

Jack is in his mid 80s and not in the best of health. To reimburse him for the tremendous about of work he put in building the plane - estimated at 2,000+ hours - the Armistice in Cambridge team would like to be able to make him a reasonable payment.

Armistice in Cambridge is a not-for-profit organisation that hosts an annual event to celebrate NZ'd military heritage. Not-for-profit is a good description as the event only runs due to the tremendous generosity of a large number of people.

Please allow us to recognise Jack's incredible work.

The 1914 Bristol Scout flew over the trenches of Gallipoli and there were kiwi pilots among those who flew these machines.
