IN 1940 following the evacuation from Dunkirk, all that stood between the advancing German army and an invasion of our shores was the Royal Air Force.
This year, during the first two weeks of September, The Royal Air Forces Association will be collecting for The Battle of Britain Wings Appeal in towns and villages throughout the UK.
The appeal commemorates the heroic sacrifices made by the young men of Fighter Command who withstood the German onslaught during those few summer months in 1940.
Please help us to rise to the challenge by giving generously to the appeal.
To donate today please ring free phone 0800-0182361 or if you want more information you can write to me at: Air Marshall Sir John Sutton KCB, President, The Royal Air Forces Association, Freepost LON 1464, 43 Grove Park Road, Chiswick, London W4 3BR.
