A visit, with Mayor Kenny, to see what happens at RAF Shawbury  – which is much more than I appreciated.  We had a tour of aircraft maintenance and storage,  the air traffic controllers training facility and a session in the helicopter training simulator.   Mayor Kenny may have looked the part with his RAF-style moustache but he still crashed, several times.   RAF Shawbury is a facility that Shropshire is rightly proud of.  Well done too to Roland Wycherley who allows forces to watch Shrewsbury Town FC free of charge.
