Royal Wootton Bassett

Recommended Posts

:clap: As much as I applaud the community for what they do - I have personal ties with RAF Lyneham - which is closing as Wooton Bassett receives this honour.

 

All the servicemen and women have been repatriated through RAF Lyneham and I feel it is unjust to close it :(

 

Part of me hopes they have a rethink :pray:

I agree it is well deserved.

One of our ex students was killed in Afghanistan just over a year ago. He was 19.

The repatriation at Wooton Bassett gave his friends a focus for their grief and an opportunity to welcome him home, more so than the very formal military funeral with which he was (rightly) honoured later.

It is sad that RAF Lyneham is to close. I hope that wherever he repatriations move to, something similar might happen.
