Cheque Mates

September, 2001

The RAAF Memorial Trust Fund received high-level support last month with the new Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Angus Houston, and his predecessor, Air Marshal Errol McCormack (Ret'd), both making significant personal donations. AIRMSHL Houston presented a personal cheque for $1000, while AIRMSHL McCormack, who launched the fundraising campaign in November 2000, made a second donation to bring his personal contribution up to $1000 also. They are pictured at the Memorial on Canberra's ANZAC Parade, presenting their cheques to Secretary of the RAAF Memorial Redevelopment Committee, WGCDR Keith Brent.
