(UK, SC047248) Browse eventsThe Edinburgh University Air Squadron Association has been established by former pilots of the squadron to raise funds to commemorate the life and achievements of one of our former members, Captain Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown RN, who died in Feb 2016 aged 97. Born in Leith, brought up in the Borders, then educated at the Royal High School and Edinburgh University where he studied German, Eric Brown trained to fly at RAF Turnhouse in 1939. At the outbreak of WW2 he joined the Fleet Air Arm where he was given the nickname ‘Winkle’ because of his modest stature. There followed a most distinguished flying career during which he flew a world record of 487 different aircraft types and achieved another world record for 2,407 deck landings on aircraft carriers. He became the Royal Navy’s Chief Naval Test Pilot and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Edinburgh University. The aim of the fund-raising for this charity is to provide a bronze statue at Edinburgh Airport and to fund Flying Scholarships, to enable some of today’s youngsters to experience the life enhancing benefits of learning to fly which is just what Winkle would have wanted. It feels good to give, so please donate towards commemorating the life and of this great man and to inspiring some of today's youngsters to learn to fly.

By interacting with the local district, our vision is that we will enhance and promote inclusion, education, health, and sport, with the subsequent intention of improving the wellbeing of not only the Ipswich Town FC fanbase, but also the local community as a whole. We aim to build on the already active presence that the Club has in the community, by using the ‘Power of Football’ to influence the lives of people in the Ipswich and surrounding area. As a charitable company, Friends of Ipswich Town FC is governed by a select group of trustees, all of whom have an interest in the local community. We are targeting steady year on year growth, but with the principle aim of keeping the needs of the community at the heart of everything we do. Furthermore, we will endeavour to consistently make all our activities available to people of all ages, from all backgrounds and from all abilities. Our work will be divided into four areas to reflect our vision of providing educational, sporting, social and healthy lifestyle opportunities to the local community. These four areas are health, sports development, social inclusion and education. The plan outlines the key actions within each area that we believe will allow us to achieve our vision, as well as the human and financial resources that will be required.
