RICHARD TODD'S BERET

[Gil Boyd]

Chatting this morning about the acquisition of Richard Todds beret for the Airborne Forces museum.
I had a long chat with Richard in 2008 when the museum moved up to Duxford from Aldershot, and I am sure we spoke about his smock and beret used in WW2 at Pegasus Bridge and also in the 1962 film Longest Day where he played Major John Howard who took the bridge in the most daring glider operation of the war. The precision was outstanding.
Sadly a year later in 2009 Richard died aged 90. A sad loss.

Sadly, unless the auction winner donates it to us at the museum, we can't raise those types of funds!
