- BAFC Facebook- Can I ask that all posts are Airborne or BAFC related. We are happy for members of the BAFC to advertise AB goods on our Facebook page. We have already agreed this with a couple of guys and they have agreed to make a donation to the BAFC, minimum 5% of their profits based on sales through our Facebook page. Seems to be working well at present.
Â
- Welfare notifications- Please keep us updated asap if you become aware of an Airborne brother who has fallen on hard times. Please use social media or just message any of the committee, we can then pick the case up. Recently we have made welfare payments within the hour after doing our due diligence checks.

"May the defence of the Most High be above and beneath,
around and within us, in our going out and in our coming in,
in our rising up and in our going down,
through all our days and all our nights,
until dawn when the Sun of Righteousness shall rise
 with healing in his wings for the peoples of the world,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen."
