Battle of Britain lunch boxes

We enjoyed a fun 1940's themed afternoon recently at the former RAF Harrowbeer airfield, just a stones throw from lunchboxesetc towers here in Devon.

Now reverting back to moor land the base was home to Spitfires and other RAF planes during WWII and the RAF Harrowbeer volunteers did a great job evoking the sights and sounds of the era with a full size replica spitfire powered by a genuine Merlin engine being the highlight for this visitor.

The history of the area is written large on the landscape with hard standing, sentry boxes and dispersal shelters still visible around the base.  One of the dispersal bays has been restored and can be visited when open.  A low key but very satisfying afternoon.

Lunchboxesetc.co.uk now has two spitfire lunch boxes that are inspired by the heroism and bravery of "the few".  There is still plenty of time to order one in time for the start of the new school year.  Or, if you don't have a packed lunch why not use it for storage at home?  We have one very useful spitfire lunchbox to hold all our airfix kit materials - glue, scapels, paints etc.

 

Both lunch boxes are made in the UK from hardwearing plastic and feature a white handle and an easy to use clasp to securely close the box.

Lancasters and lunch boxes

Lancaster bombers have been much in the news recently, what with the Canadian Lancaster Bomber joining the Battle of Britain Flight Lancaster in the UK this summer.  The iconic British Bomber from WWII inspired one of Lunchboxesetc.co.uk's military aircraft lunchboxes

The lunchboxesetc Lancaster lunch box is available in pink, blue, green, red and yellow plastic.  Appropriately enough all lunchboxesetc lunch boxes are moulded in the UK, and meet all UK safety standards.  Perfect for taking a packed lunch to your local airshow so you can enjoy a sandwich whilst admiring the real thing!

Back to school is nearly here

Despite the fact that all ks1 children will qualify for free school meals from September at http://www.lunchboxesetc.co.uk it's been another bumper back to school season. Maybe even the prospect of free school meals can't persuade every one that school dinners will be edible! 

Lunchboxesetc's British made plastic lunchboxes can be personalised with a photo or piece of artwork or simply by adding a name to one of their many designs.  They also produce a number of off-the-shelf designs such as this amazing spitfire lunchbox:

All their lunchboxes are made in the UK from food safe plastics and meet all applicable safety standards.  Measuring approximately 23cm x 19cm x 9cm they are plenty big enough for a large pack lunch and drink plus snacks, and the hard plastic handle makes them easy to carry.  Best of all a unque personalised lunchbox is easy to spot in the melee at school and they are superbly easy to clean!
