My wife served with the Royal Air Force in the Falkland Islands for six months leaving myself and two boys at home in a relatively isolated base at RAF Marham, but the RAF family soon showed me there true colours inviting us to events out on especially for people with family serving, with 24 hour support on some dark days it was a light in the darkness . I was incredibly humbled by people’s compassion to help get me through and help my two boys understand where mummy was. Thanks RAF.
