The Not Forgotten Association Visit RAF Coningsby


I have been a volunteer at the Not Forgotten Association for almost two years now and I enjoy every minute there, I find it very rewarding to help those who have served for our country. Even though I live very far and have to drive my new seat Alhambra from Prescot just to get to work, I think it?s the least I can do from them.

The best thing about working at the Not Forgotten Association is I get to visit many places that I wouldn?t dream of going. We recent went on a VIP visit at Royal Air Force Coningsby as part of the support provided by the Typhoon Display Team and Mazda UK.

Mazda and the Typhoon Display Team host beneficiaries on fun days out at air shows throughout the year to promote the tri-service charity that bring happiness to injured serving and ex-service personnel with disabilities.

While we were there we had a guided tour, the chance to take a photo with the Vulcan and tour of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

Wing Commander Al Seymour, Officer Commanding 29 (Reserve) Squadron, in charge of the Typhoon Display Team, who hosted the VIP day at RAF Coningsby, commented: "We are delighted to host The Not Forgotten Association today and we are grateful to Mazda, the display team sponsor this year, for their help in making the day happen. It has been a privilege to have been able to showcase the present and future of the RAF in the form of the Typhoon, to some inspirational representatives of the recent past of the armed forces."
