At tonight’s Committee meeting, we were delighted to wish our long-serving Vice Chairman, Peter Clarke, a very happy birthday.

As we mark Volunteers’ Week, it is also a fitting opportunity to recognise Peter’s remarkable commitment to the Royal Air Forces Association. Having dedicated an incredible 57 years of service to RAFA, his contribution and support have been truly outstanding.

Happy Birthday, Peter, and thank you for your service.
