Airfest, a four-day youth festival organised by the RAF Benevolent Fund’s flagship youth programme, Airplay, was recently held at RAF Wyton to celebrate 15 years of supporting young people across RAF stations. The residential camp offered fun-filled activities for 150 young people, including the UK’s largest mobile climbing wall, VR games, bungee trampolines, darts, face painting and hair-braiding stations, plus interactive workshops and evening entertainment. The RAF Falcons also made a special appearance, with a thrilling parachute display as they landed on the airfield. Established by the Fund in 2010 and delivered by One YMCA, Airplay provides a safe, fun place for young people aged five to 18 to learn and interact with peers across 24 RAF stations, as part of a support programme for children of serving parents.
