Good weather and an excellent flying display was the perfect background for the official opening of the Bristol & Gloucestershire Wing’s WREV (Wing Recruiting & Educational Vehicle) at the 2015 R.I.A.T RAF Fairford. The Commandant Air Commodore Dawn McCafferty & the Ambassador Honorary Grp Cpt Carol Vorderman shared the official opening of the vehicle. The project has been a collaboration between the Wing Committee and the Wing Staff and has been an 18 month labour of dedication to the small team led by Fg Off Kevin Hill now OC 37 Sqn. With a moving Viking cockpit simulator and LED screen it gives a good example to potential young and older people what we do. There is still some work to be done on the vehicle but it is fit for all squadrons in the Wing to use.
