“Group Captain John Hemingway DFC – “Last of the few”
John Hemingway DFC is the last known living fighter pilot to serve in the momentous Battle of Britain during the summer of 1940.
To mark the anniversary of the Battle of Britain and John’s 105th birthday in July this year, our intention is to purchase a special mobility chair and home care equipment organised by “Last of the Few” painter – Dan Llywelyn Hall and John Hemingway in Llanfyllin, Powys, United Kingdom.
Every year September 15th marks the commemoration of the Battle of Britain and tocelebrate this and John’s grand birthday, we would like to offer a donation to John’s care home inFoxrock, Dublin.
John is presently cared for in a retirement care home and we are hoping to raise funds to help John with a special chair to make him more comfortable by helping support his body.
In addition to this purchase any funds over and above the purchase of this equipment of £4000.00 will go towards the purchase of three portraits that will be given to public collections each painted by Artist Dan Llywelyn Hall, that were unveiled at the British Embassy in Dublin. You can opt for rewards that mark John’s portrait unveiling as special keepsakes and collectors’ items.
