Staff and cadets of 1769 (Orkney) Detached Flight Air Training Corps will be celebrating the RAF’s 100th anniversary with a number of events in Kirkwall.
The RAF Benevolent Fund will also be supported through fundraising and awareness throughout the campaign.
Events will take place on April 6 and 8, including a formal dinner and dance, a historical talk from author George Lamb and a service at St Magnus Cathedral.
Organiser Hugh Moonie said: “The events are truly exciting. Although the events are open to all, we hope to have as many RAF veterans attending as possible in order to remember and honour all those who have served over the past 100 years.
“We are fundraising for the RAF Benevolent Fund as the support they provide to serving personnel and veterans of the RAF is as outstanding as it is varied.
“It can be vital for those who require support especially following potentially life changing events. We felt it was timely to highlight the fund at the centenary of the RAF. It is also quite poignant following the tragic accident at RAF Valley.”
