My Name is Malcolm Cloutt. I served in WW2 as a pilot in the RAF. I am 100 years old and will be 101 in November. I am taking on the challenge of raising money for the Royal British legion in their centenary year. l hope to raise even more money this year than I did last year with the support of local residents to spur me on.

Your donation can help our Armed Forces community through thick and thin – ensuring their unique contribution is never forgotten.

Here is Malcolm's story:

Born in in Wimbledon in November 1920, Warrant Officer Malcolm Cloutt served in WW2 as an RAF Dakota pilot. He is very humble about his role in the war, seeing it as a minor contribution in comparison with others. This involved working on Transport Command, transportation of Parachutists, collection of wounded and dropping of food amongst other things. Malcolm was also stationed to Myanmar (formerly Burma) where his crew were lost at sea while he was hospitalised with Appendicitis. Latterly he was based in Down Ampney, Gloucs in 62 Squadron, for European work building towards D Day.

Malcolm is 101 years old this month and very fit and well. He is well known in Princes Risborough, Bucks amongst all ages as a well- dressed gent who always has a moment to speak with you. In need of a challenge, and following on from last years fundraising he has committed to walking to raise money for the Royal British Legion in memory of his crew and to help ex- service men who are in need of support.

He will attempt to walk ¾ mile each day ( using a walking stick as an aid this year) at 1 o’clock from 1st November for 11 days starting from where he lives and finishing with a cuppa in the new park Café in Princes Risborough Bucks . However he will not be alone, as many people from the town including the Mayor want to support both Team Malcolm and the RBL and will be walking with him.

He is hoping each day he will meet more people on his journey. Please come and join Malcolm to support him on his walk, or donate to his fundraiser for the Royal British Legion.
