Radisson Blue Waterfront Hotel, Saturday 25th October
In one of those uniquely Jersey stories, we have the honour of being the oldest RAFA branch, and in fact we predate the formation of RAFA nationally. RAFA themselves are mere babies having been formed in 1943, making them only 82 years old! 130 members and guests celebrated the anniversary and were joined by the Islands’ newly sworn in Bailiff Robert Macrae, on his first actual full day as Bailiff, and by the President of RAFA nationally, Air Marshal Sir Baz and Lady North.
The evening was outstanding success, and a fitting tribute to the original members that founded the Branch, the determination and hard work of all the members since then, and the generosity the public of Jersey has shown to RAFA, enabling us and our National Headquarters to reach out to the RAF community offering friendship, camaraderie and support when it is needed.
