Story
The RAF100 Appeal is aiming to raise funds for the four major RAF Charities, the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, the Royal Air Forces Association, the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust and the Royal Air Force Museum. The aim of the Appeal is to raise money for the RAF family and to create a lasting legacy as we celebrate 100 years of the Royal Air Force in 2018.
Biker Veterans from Suffolk will take part in various Rides of Remembrance throughout the year and will Recall the stories of the RAF’s brave servicemen and women whilst Raising Funds for RAF Charities.
