Story
The formation of No: 600 (City of London) Squadron, RAF Reserves (600SQN) took place on the 14th October 1925 at RAF Northolt.
The 90th Anniversary of 600SQN was on 14th October 2015.
600SQN personnel will be organising/taking part in a number of events during the 90th Anniversary (14 Oct 2015 to 13 Oct 2016) to raise money for our chosen charities.
This Armed Forces Day Bucket Collection in aid of The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund (RAFBF) is one of those events.

Our Mission
An elite fundraising force, handpicked from the ranks of part-time volunteers 600SQN, 600SQN Assn and ULAS will be dropping in on two London Rail Stations to intercept enthusiastic and supportive members of the public to provide them an opportunity to show their support and appreciation of the British Armed Forces (the Royal Air Force in this case) on Armed Forces Day.
This support will be in the form of financial donations in aid of the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund (RAFBF)..
