VE Day 80: A timeline of survival Richard Churchill was one of just 23 men to survive recapture after The Great Escape. A Caterpillar Club member and Squadron Leader, he later walked 300km across Europe as a prisoner of war. This May, that same route will be cycled in tribute from Żagań to Berlin as part of the VE Day 80 commemorations, and IrvinGQ® is proud to support the ride. Help us honour the journey by donating to the VE Day 80 ride:   👉 https://lnkd.in/e3s5YnGQ #VEDay80 #CaterpillarClub #RidingtoRemember

IrvinGQ® is proud to support: VE Day 80. Riding to Remember. On 8 May 2025, a group of veterans and friends will cycle 300km from Żagań to Berlin, a powerful journey to honour those who served and sacrificed 80 years ago. Among the riders is Roger, whose father was the last survivor of the Great Escape, who passed away in 2019, and a member of the Caterpillar Club - a group formed of those who survived by parachuting to safety with an IrvinGQ® parachute. Now, his son rides in his memory. They'll ride not for medals or records — but in quiet tribute to those who came before. As we mark 80 years since Victory in Europe Day, this journey honours the stories they carry, stories of survival, service, and sacrifice. If you'd like to support the ride and the cause behind it, you can donate here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3s5YnGQ ✨ 80 years on, the legacy rides on. ✨ #VEDay80 #RidingToRemember

We need you. As we approach VE Day, we're looking to share powerful personal stories from those who lived through it or the families carrying their memories forward. Do you have a story of a loved one who served? A personal connection to the war effort? A memory passed down that deserves to be heard? We'd love to honour them. ✨ Real people. Real stories. Remembered together. ✨ If you're happy for us to share your story (with permission and full credit), please email sales@irvingq.com or message us directly.

Yesterday, Andrew Smith, our Engineering Manager, had the privilege of visiting Coety Primary School to give a STEM talk to two Year 6 classes. He shared insights about IrvinGQ® and gave them a closer look at our product range, along with some videos of trials and testing that we conduct. He also dove into the fascinating world of engineering, explaining the design process and demonstrating how a parachute works! 🪂 The highlight of the day was an exciting hands-on activity. The students split into groups and were tasked with designing and making a parachute using a variety of materials, with the challenge of safely landing an egg without it cracking when dropped from the school roof! All the kids showed off their creativity and engineering skills, with some fantastic designs created. More importantly—no eggs were broken! 🥳 A big thank you to the students for their enthusiasm and to Coety Primary School for the opportunity to engage with the next generation of engineers! #STEM #Engineering #IrvinGQ #FutureEngineers
