Our guests which included members of the British Korean War Veterans, Swindon Catenian Group and PROBUS Winchcombe, also had the chance to look around our Air Mobility aircraft and interact with personal from across the Station.  A fantastic opportunity to see first-hand a busy RAF Station and strengthen our relationship with the local community.
