The RAF Stories Big Weekend took place on the 2nd & 3rd of November, where organisations across the country invited local people into their venues, and recorded their connections to the Royal Air Force. Over 150 stories were submitted across the weekend, in this feature, we have handpicked a small selection to demonstrate the breadth of stories captured. A big thank you to all involved!
