History of Air force association UK branch
The Branch was started by Gp Capt George Joyce in 1988, he had met with Marshal of the Air Force Arjan Singh on a visit to Delhi earlier that year. Present at the first meeting were Gp Capt & Mrs Joyce, (late) Wg Cdr A Almeida who volunteered to be the Branch Secretary, Flt Lt and Mrs Norman Walker, Air Cmde and Mrs David Bouche, Air Cmde and Mrs Wilson, Gp Capt McNeil, Wg Cdr CHL Digby, (late)Wg Cdr Bajaj, Wg Cdr DB Das, Wg Cdr Guy Newton, and a few others. Gp Capt Joyce was the President till 1998 until Sqn Ldr IS Loughran took over. After the sad demise of Wg Cdr A Almeida, Wg Cdr M Chater has been the branch Secretary and Treasurer. We are still hoping for some volunteers to take over these posts. Membership is entirely voluntary and the office bearers are also volunteers. Some members have contributed to help us make a “Flight Fund” that pays for the postage and printing of our letters. |
