2 years agoTwo Remembrance services were held during July to mark the 60th anniversary of this tragic accident. We were able to unite family members of four of the airmen who lost their lives on 30 July 1962. This Just Giving Appeal has been extended until the 30 October in order to make more effort to reach our target of £1,000 for the Leek Squadron Air Cadets. Thank you for your support.
