I've raised £1000 to Fund an AIR CADETS ‘Belvedere’ award for craft skills, to honour the aviators who died in the crash of RAF Belvedere XG465 on 30 July 1962.

Organised by Michael Ottewell
A ‘Remembrance‘ service has been held at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire on Wednesday 27 July to mark the 60th anniversary of the loss of RAF Belvedere helicopter XG 465. The accident on 30 July 1962 resulted in the the deaths of six aviators while on deployment in West Germany to support NATO exercises. The money raised by this appeal will be donated to a local AIR CADETS UNIT for use at the discretion of its Civillian Management Committee.
