Scalextrics Appeal, An unusual request from a British Army Sgt in Afghanistan.
His Regt were given a small Scalextrics race car set, in the autumn of 2007 and it has been a great hit with all the soldiers.
When soldiers return to camp battle weary from weeks in the desert, there is not a lot for them to do in their rest time, other than rest!
They usually have a few days to relax and rest before being due out in the desert again and with only 30 mins a week to phone home, unreliable internet connections limited to 20 mins a week, they have really enjoyed attending the rest and recuperation area to have a few minutes of fun on the Scalextrics track!
The Sgt is appealing for any second hand Scalextric track, cars or parts. If you have any old Scalextric track or parts that you would like us to send out for you.
Thank you to all who generously gave so many scalextrics sets. Thank The Forces Charity sent 5 brand new sets to Afghanistan and some spare track and cars. Well done everyone!!
This appeal is now closed.
