Although it’s gained its initial target, the campaign has added new stretch goals have been added, including a bide to get funding for designs of the GF1 vehicles by former Star Trek designer Andrew Probert, a GF1 T Shirt, a poster, plus for a pledge of £190 (if the total can reach £32,000), you’ll receive an exclusive GF1 Flight Jacket.
This is great news for Anderson fans and we’re sure the Jamie Anderson and MG Harris , the author adapting Gerry’s GF1 into new novels, are delighted by the response.
