World Fuel Services (Booth A67) is encouraging professionals in the business aviation industry to support the RAF100 Appeal. The joint venture between the Royal Air Force and four of its major charities, aims to raise money for the RAF family while celebrating the UK service's centennial. To support this, WFS is asking for people to participate in the RAF Museum’s Spitfire 10K on September 1 in London.

Celebrating its 100-year anniversary, approximately 800 people will have the opportunity to run on the RAF Museum’s airfield in North West London. The event starts under the Sunderland Flying Boat and continues through the museum and then on the streets of Colindale before ending on the museum’s runway. Participants will receive a Spitfire 10K medal when they complete the race. Current participants for this year include members of the RAF, RAF Museum employees, and a team from WFS.

“We are incredibly proud of our involvement in the RAF’s centenary celebrations,” said Mark Amor, v-p of WFS. “As a founding corporate partner of the RAF Museum, we urge pilots and business aviation professionals to get involved to support the RAF100 Appeal. It’s this type of event which is pivotal to the success of the RAF and will help it continue its legacy for another 100 years and beyond.”

Admission to the RAF Museum is free, and participants and spectators can explore the exhibits on September 1. T-shirts are available for pre-order until August 12. In addition to the race, the museum is reopening with three new exhibits to celebrate its centennial. The exhibitions will be launched along with a landscaped site that mimics the London Aerodrome from 100 years ago.
