Fellowship of the Bellows

Posted by Ian Le Sueur on Sun Sep 08, 2002 02:30:36 PM

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the Fellowship of the Bellows was?

I have a rough idea that it was a group of predominately South American businessmen who raised funds for aircraft for the RAF during WW2.

Can anyone expand on this, who the founder members were and how the fund raising worked. I believe it may even have links to the Rotary Club.

Were there only 3 Bellows Squadrons 193, 263 and 692 and why the name bellows?

Any help would be appreciated.
