EARLIER this month, members of RAF Brize Norton's community support section and other volunteers got into the spirit of Christmas.

The group made up gift boxes for the station personnel who are deployed over the festive period.

The boxes were filled with lots of goodies, which will bring joy to those in far flung destinations.

Flight Sergeant Jane Corban, from community support, said: “We are always so happy to be able to create the boxes each year and we hope these Christmas gifts will remind our service personnel who are away from home at Christmas that we are thinking of them.”
