RAF policemen have travelled up the road from Suffolk to Norfolk to support a fundraising event held at Diss Rugby Club that raised £350 to help former personnel and their families.
Personnel from 1(Tactical) Police Squadron supported the Royal Air Forces Association's Diss branch Wings Appeal at the Diss v Norwich Rugby Game last Saturday.
This is the first event supported by the squadron, which has been aligned to the Diss branch as part of RAF Honington's overall effort to support the association.
Fl Lt Anthony Xavier, from the squadron, said: 'Squadron personnel were keen to volunteer for the event and saw the benefit of supporting the work of RAFA in Norfolk and Suffolk.
'Further support is planned for 2017 with the aim of developing a strong relationship with the branch and also allowing branch members to visit the squadron in the future.'
Gordon Johnson, RAFA Diss branch membership secretary, praised the positive impact of having uniformed and serving personnel available to support the association's work and added that previous events without squadron personnel had raised around £100.
