| FOOD FOR THOUGHT AT AIR TATTOO ! |
|
|
Visitors to the Royal International Air Tattoo are being given food for thought by personnel on an RAF helicopter squadron. Members of 28 and 78 Squadron who fly the Merlin helicopter from RAF Benson in Oxfordshire are throwing their weight behind the charity Help for Heroes by promoting a charity cookbook and taking part in marathons.
Flt Lt Michelle Goodman, 32 who became the first woman to be awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) after rescuing a badly-wounded soldier in Iraq in 2007 is at RAF Fairford promoting the Help for Heroes Cook Book. Michelle joins a number of household names who have contributed recipes to the book, including Sir David Jason, Ewen MacGregor, Dame Tanni Grey Thompson, and several celebrity chefs. Michelle's lasagne is now appearing on dinner tables all over the country as the book is promoted at airshows up and down the country. Michelle said: "We hope to raise £10,000 for Help for Heroes by the end of the airshow season. People have been very interested in supporting the charity and the work it does, and the cookbook has been my way of supporting it." Personnel from 28 Sqn are also supporting Help for Heroes by running in the Munich Marathon. To find out more, visit: www.justgiving.com/28sqnmunichmarathon/ Michelle has been in the Royal Air Force for nine years, having joined in 2000. She was inspired by aviation when she visited the Air Tattoo as a youngster. "I saw the Vulcan fly and I was hooked," she said. The Help for Heroes cookbook can be purchased for £15 by visiting the RAF Merlin in the static display at the Eastern end of the airfield.

The Royal International Air Tattoo is staged annually in support of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust which, in turn, awards grants in support of the RAF family, including serving personnel and Air Cadets. Since it was established in January 2005, the Trustees have awarded over £895,000 to a wide range of projects and initiatives.
