The WREV at RIAT
The Bristol & Gloucestershire Wing Recruiting & Educational Vehicle (WREV) was on display at the Royal International Air Tattoo over the weekend of 8th -10th July taking pride of place in the RAF Village.

The weekend saw many enquiries from all over the country with some children only aged 7 to 11. It gave them an insight of what to expect when they become old enough to join. This event proved again that the WREV was certainly worth the investment.
