Our Junior Ranks facilities have undergone a major refurbishment.

It has been a real team effort, driven by the Junior Ranks Welfare Committee, with support by the Station Infra Team, VIVO, Babcock and ESS. In formerly re-opening the facilities, the Station Commander, Wing Commander Paddy Durnin, recognised all involved, as well as the funding partners who made the project possible; namely the Nuffield Trust, the RAF Central Fund, and the RAF Darts Association.

The Station Warrant Officer, Warrant Officer Kerry Murphy-Brown said, “I am incredibly proud of the hard work and determination of the Junior Ranks Welfare Committee in leading with this project and delivering such a successful outcome. I hope this facility will be of great benefit to all of our junior ranks, staff and trainees, for a long time to come.”

RAF Shawbury hosted an Armed Forces (AF) Covenant signing today by The 3-18 Education Trust.

Prior to the official signing between David O’Toole (CEO of the Trust) and the Station Commander, our guests were invited to experience some of the world-class training which is delivered at RAF Shawbury.

Our visitors included Shropshire Council AF Covenant personnel, and the Headteachers, staff and Service family pupils from local Trust Schools, Thomas Adams and Hodnet Primary.

Wing Commander Paddy Durnin, Station Commander said, “I am delighted that RAF Shawbury was able to host the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant by The 3-18 Education Trust. Education is always one of the first thoughts for Service families as we face frequent moves. We are particularly lucky that both schools represented today have an excellent understanding of the support required by Service parents and children. By signing the Covenant, the CEO is underlining the commitment of the Trust across all of their schools, for which we as a Service community are very grateful.”
