Today is Breast Cancer Care’s “Wear It Pink Day” and Grace Wright, PA to RAF Scampton’s Station Commander, and Gill Angel, the base’s Community Development Officer (The Pink Ladies) have been at the gates to the camp since 7:15am this morning collecting money for the charity.
Last year £450 was raised and it looks like that target may be broken this year.
And in support of their efforts members of The Red Arrows aerobatic team were to be flying over the main gates at 10:10am this morning. Unfortunately, a combination of fog and the unavailability of a fire crew meant they could not get airborne.
Instead, members of the press were given the opportunity at a photocall to take pictures of The Red Arrows and The Pink Ladies together, in a show of support.
I just wonder what they’re going to do with all that pink dye in their tanks. Any suggestions?
