Lancaster Bomber Poppy Brooch

A tribute to the bravest generation.

Sassy Spirit is proudly based in rural Lincolnshire — Bomber County — and this brooch is our heartfelt tribute to the men who flew from these fields and never came home.

The mighty Avro Lancaster Bomber is depicted in gleaming silver, a cascade of hand-painted red poppies falling in its wake. It’s a piece of extraordinary beauty that carries the weight of history — and a story that deserves to be told.

The Lancaster in numbers:

• The average age of a Lancaster airman was just 22 years old.
• The life expectancy of a new airman was 2 weeks.
• On average, a Lancaster completed 21 missions before being lost.
• Only 2 operational Lancasters remain in the world today.
• The Lancaster was central to the legendary Dam Busters and Operation Hydra missions.

Our brooch manufacturer makes an annual donation to the British Legion Poppy Appeal for every Poppy Brooch sold.

Details: Silver-plated finish · Hand-painted red poppies · Approx. 4.5cm × 5cm · Presented on a card · Plastic-free, recycled & sustainable packaging.

Wear it with pride. Gift it with meaning. A piece of history that will never be forgotten.
