Tabled 18 June 2026 by Mr Lee Dillon
That this House congratulates Christine Belcher of Thatcham on completing an 800-foot wing walk at the age of 78 in support of the RAF Wings Appeal; recognises her exceptional fundraising efforts, which raised £2,390 for the Royal Air Forces Association to support serving and former RAF personnel and their families; notes that 2026 marks 60 years since she joined the Women’s Royal Air Force as a nursing attendant and acknowledges her family’s long history of service to the RAF; commends her determination to challenge perceptions of ageing, push beyond her comfort zone and inspire people of all ages through her achievement; and praises the generosity of the local community whose support raised vital funds for the RAF.
