Win an Aston Martin fit for a Dame

Oscar-winner Dame Judi Dench has teamed up with the RAF Benevolent Fund to launch a unique raffle to win a limited edition Aston Martin worth £275,000.

The actress, who played M in seven James Bond films and is long-time supporter of the RAF’s leading welfare charity, said the lucky winner “will certainly have a licence to thrill”.

Aston Martin Cambridge commissioned just 10 Vanquish S Red Arrows models as a unique tribute to the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, with one being kindly donated to the RAF Benevolent Fund.

Celebrating two of the most iconic marques in British history and engineering, the car marries the exceptional craftsmanship and dynamic driving experience of an Aston Martin with the iconic Red Arrows brand.

The Vanquish S Red Arrows car boasts a number of special features that echo the Red Arrows themselves, including a white ‘flash’ on the sides, complemented by white and blue carbon details.

For just £20 a ticket, anyone can buy themselves the chance to win the car, with all money raised going directly to the charity.

Tickets can be bought directly from the RAF Benevolent Fund website (www.rafbf.org/red10) or at air shows and events across the summer. The raffle is open until December 1, 2017, with the draw taking place on December 8.

“I’m a huge fan of what the RAF Benevolent Fund does to provide vital help to past and present members of the RAF and their families,” added Dame Judi. “When they asked me to support this raffle, I just couldn’t say no.”
