Families at RAF Linton-On-Ouse have celebrated the opening of new state-of-the-art play areas for young people living on or around the base.
The Airplay Parks are part of the RAF Benevolent Fund’s national £24million Airplay programme for children and young people in RAF families, which is also funding trained Airplay youth support workers to support RAF staff at the station.
The new Airplay Parks were opened by Bob Kemp, regional director for the RAF Benevolent Fund, Station Commander Group Captain Terry Jones, and the High Sherriff of North Yorkshire, Alexandra Holford.
Group Captain Jones said: “The new Airplay Parks are a huge boost to the way we support our families, especially those where servicemen and women are deployed.
“All of the new facilities have been ringing to the sound of laughter of children delighted with the new facilities. We are extremely grateful to the RAF Benevolent Fund for its generosity and support to RAF families.”
