An honour to be able to lay a wreath today @IntBCC on The National Bomber Command Day. It is so important to mark the service and sacrifice of those that lost their lives protecting our freedom. We will remember them.

Today we paused to reflect on Lord Trenchard’s vision for the RAF College, founded on the 5 February 1920. His vision for the RAF College ensured the institutions, ethos and heritage of the Royal Air Force exist today. #NoOrdinaryJob
