People who would like to take part can use their own pattern or request one from the museum by emailing outreach@armyflying.com or they can post a copy of the pattern to you.

Finished eagles can be sent to:
Dan Ball, Army Flying Museum, Middle Wallop, Stockbridge, Hants, SO2O 8FB or you can drop them off to the museum.

Closing date for eagles is the 1st July 2021
