My Story

In May 2022, I will be taking on The Dambusters Ride, marking 79 years since the Royal Air Force's 617 Squadron carried out an audacious bombing raid in the Ruhr valley, the heart of Germany's war machine. They were disciplined, courageous and determined and I hope to channel that when I take on the Dambusters Ride to honour the service of the Dambuster crew.

I am also taking part in memory of my father Don Busby who served as a Navigator between 1950 & 1962 and who sadly passed in September last year.

The RAF Benevolent Fund is the RAF's leading welfare charity and has been there, through thick and thin, for the RAF for more than 100 years. It's a cause that's close to my heart and with your support the RAF Benevolent Fund can continue to be there for veterans, serving personnel and their families.
