MAY I thank everyone who contributed to the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) Wings Appeal collection which took place in Darlington town centre on Saturday, September 15.

Thanks to the generosity of the contributors and the magnificent efforts of volunteers from the Darlington Branch RAF Association and Cadets from 405 (Darlington) Squadron, a total of £787.24 was raised, which will go towards taking care of and providing welfare for serving and ex-service personnel of the Royal Air Force.

Marjorie Roberts, Branch Secretary, Darlington.
