Description
The International Air Tattoo 83 is held at RAF Greenham Common on July 23 & 24. This event is in aid of THE ROYAL AIR FORCE BENEVOLENT FUND and in association with Nationwide Building Society. The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund was founded in 1919 to relieve distress or need amongst past and present members of all ranks of the Royal Air Force, including the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, the Royal Air Force Reserve, and their widows, children and other dependants. The Fund provides help for casualties and those serving in Palestine as well as at home.
The Fund aims to enable dependants to maintain the life to which they have been accustomed and to help children into careers which their fathers might reasonably have expected them to follow. In 1982, expenditure on the relief of distress amounted to almost £4m. The greater part of this went to help widows and the disabled. The survivors of the Second World War are now becoming more vulnerable to ill health and financial hardship as they grow older.
