The project was the passion of Weymouth resident Rob Oliver, who spent the past 25 years helping ex-RAF veterans from 152 (Hyderabad) Squadron who served at RAF Warmwell during the Battle of Britain.

After the service, guests are invited back to the RAFA Wings Club for refreshments. All are welcome.
