Our latest Crowdfunder Draw Prize is for an original poster from a news seller billboard stand, with the Evening Standard headline announcing the death of Jimi Hendrix that day, 18 September 1970. These stands were commonly seen outside railway stations and other areas where newspapers were sold, giving the headline of the day

Hendrix died from complications involving drug-related toxicity and asphyxiation

The poster dimensions: 29" high x 17 1/2" wide and it is presented in an A1 black frame with a Perspex front

Prize kindly donated by Doug Redfarn from Vintage Pinball

The Cause

'Ross Revenge' is in urgent need of dry docking, where surveys and structural repairs can be carried out. Our prize draws supplement our fundraising appeal to achieve our goal of securing the future of our historic ship for generations to come. The former pirate radio ship 'Ross Revenge' is still regularly broadcasting at sea today and more than 1,200 visitors tour the ship each year. The vessel is an important part of both deep sea fishing and broadcasting history. To lose her would be a tragedy.
