MADAM - Despite the ongoing effects of the 'Credit Crunch', it was very heartening to see the usual generous support for the recent Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) Battle of Britain Wings Appeal.

The street collection on September 19 of �659 showed a much -valued increase on last year. My sincere thanks to all who contributed and helped collect. Our thanks are also due to the staff at Boots the Chemists, who reacted quickly and professionally when one of our collectors collapsed outside the shop. Thanks to their assistance, he is now fully recovered.

During this year's collection, many of you may well have noticed our ATC Squadron - 2019 (Sidmouth) Squadron. The Squadron has some vacancies. Flight Lieutenant John Lowe on 01395278279.
