Worshipful Master Nick Fox of Spencer Lodge 8773 in the Province of Derbyshire, accompanied by six Brethren, visited 126 Squadron (City of Derby) RAF Air Cadets.
Nick presented a cheque for £2,500 towards the costs of the Squadron’s summer camp in Normandy next year where to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the RAF, it will undertake a community project and civic duties to foster its links with Bernières-sur-Mer where 126 Squadron RAF was based after the D Day landings in 1944.
