What a milestone to achieve for your 100th.

Raised almost 30 million for the NHS. A number one record with Michael Ball. Been made a member of the England cricket team. Promoted to Colonel(hon) and extra special national news coverage from the BBC with an awesome flypast by a Hurricane and a Spit 

An awesome birthday celebration for an amazing guy who has uplifted everyone's spirit around the globe. This morning it made me feel proud to be British.

Happy Birthday Captain Tom

And a special postmark, a specially painted post box and two trains being named after him.

One train down already...

Happy Birthday Col Tom....

I guess its the thought that counts, as Tom lives in Bedford one of these might have been more appropriate!

Just on the evening news here. 

And here's number 2

Now that I like.

As has been suggested I'd definitely buy a model of that if it were going

Happy Birthday Colonel Tom!

Nice to have some positive news in this current climate

Top effort to all involved with the fly past and Loco naming too 

Army also doing a 2 helicopter flypast

Plus colonel Tom has been invited by the ecb one day to provide an uplift and visit the england test cricket team

Me too, I wonder if @acko22 could be persuaded to take this on given his previous experience?

Gareth is now a Freightliner employee, so I'm not sure he'd be the best person to be tapping GBRF up! I can see Dapol taking it on. Hornby are doing the OO gauge one, so can't see that Bachmann will.

If Dapol do it I just hope they fix the colours of their Europorte livery, their model of "Lesia" is a total disaster.
