The Royal Pump Rooms were taken over as the RAF Presentation Team landed in Leamington Spa to provide an insight into the RAF and the vital role they play in providing security in today’s society.

The Team, headed up by Wing Commander Jason Appleton, travels the UK taking audiences through a whistle-stop journey into the life of RAF personnel and providing a unique opportunity to learn more about the 91 year-old organization. 

Representing Warwickshire at the presentation was Councillor Jose Compton, Chairman of the County Council.  She said:  “The county council is highly aware of the work of the armed forces in protecting the country and has played a very proactive role in honouring the bravery of men and women who serve their country.  I was delighted to attend the RAF presentation, meet these brave men and women and convey the good wishes of the county to them.”

The event concluded with an opportunity to meet RAF personnel in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
