On Sunday, November 10, the Royal Air Force Museum Midlands will host a poignant Service of Remembrance to honor the members of the armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice during their tours of duty. Visitors are warmly invited to join this significant service, which will be led by RAF Cosford’s Station Chaplain, John Mbayo.
