Commander Air Wing, Group Captain Andy McIntyre, joined Community Support personnel as they led the way, preparing Christmas boxes for all deployed personnel who will be away from home during the festive period.

Each year the whole force comes together to assemble and post out Christmas boxes, serving as a meaningful reminder to deployed personnel that they are remembered, appreciated and supported by all.

The Senior Chaplain also joined Community Support personnel as they led the way, preparing Christmas boxes for all deployed personnel, who will be away from home during the festive period.

Group Captain Andy McIntyre added:

“Today I am delighted to be part of the preparation of the Christmas boxes that will be sent out to our people who are deployed over the festive period. This small gesture will give all our people a little something extra to open on Christmas morning, and know that everyone here at RAF Brize Norton is thinking of them.”
