Supporting the RAFBF

My sister is taking part in the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund 90th Anniversary Skydive. She is hoping to raise a minimum of £400 (the least she needs to be able to take part) and hopefully raise a lot more. My sister has always been scared of heights, but feels compelled to do this skydive as our Father served in the RAF and the RAFBF offer a lot of help to those serving and who have served, and their partners and dependants. They offer help in many different ways, including assistance to individuals and larger funding for a debt advice service, amongst many other things.

If anyone could donate that would be fantastic..

    I fully recommend everyone to do their utmost to support this charity. The boys who were leaving the Royal Air Force when I joined, emphasised the need to understand what war meant and how they were involved.

    These boys served in excess of thirty five years in the forces, some even longer. They have been out of the RAF for over twenty five years and are now well into their pensions, this worthy cause needs everyone’s effort. I was once awoken one dawn, well not awoken, I had just finished a shift, to find my colleague, Skid, who mentioned that he had lost his brother. That was 1982m the Sir Galahad. The boys drawing their pensions fought in World War II. I am not in need of their help today, but see many who have been, are and are still needed now. We used to give funding when I was in the RAF, and it said it cost less than the price of a pint. BOOO GAR the beer, give it a bottle of spirits.
