ADS members support HM Armed Forces and their families through SSAFA Forces Help

On Monday 12th November 2012 ADS President, Robin Southwell and ADS CEO Rees Ward presented a cheque for £22,000 to SSAFA Forces Help as a direct result of the ADS Airshow Charity Dinner - an enduring fixture within the Farnborough International Airshow calendar.

The dinner proved to be a great success with Peter Luff MP and Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton addressing the dinner guests and Sotheby’s conducting a grand ‘money can’t buy’ auction toward the end of the evening.
