As part of the celebrations to mark the station’s 75 year
anniversary, Royal Air Force Benson took the very positive decision on 4 May to
take its personnel, ground equipment and two of its helicopters into the local
community near Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Ian Harding reports for GAR.
This special event, which proved highly popular,
was held during the May Day bank holiday weekend in Benson village to
acknowledge Benson and Ewelme villages’ support to RAF Benson throughout its
history. Events included a parade of troops marching to the music of the
Central Band of the RAF, a church service at Benson’s St Helen’s church as well
as various displays on the village green itself.
