Sqn cyclists hand over more than £1500

Members of 606 (Chiltern) Squadron have recently handover more than £1500 to the British Heart Foundation, in memory of one of their fallen colleagues.

Corporal John Peacock sadly died in June 2009 of an unexpected heart attack whilst training with the RAF Benson based unit.

John from near Witney had been a member of 606 for many years and had seen service in Iraq during the invasion process and most recently served in the Falkland Islands, he was training for his next tour this time in Afghanistan.

Colleagues from Benson cycled from the home of the Tactical Supply Wing at MOD Stafford to RAF Benson a distance of nearly 130 miles.



A cheque was recently handed to the British Heart Foundation, together with Johns parents.
