“This medical outreach is not just a one-off activity but will be continuous for anybody that is found with any form of medical problem for a follow-up medical attention.

“The CAS has directed that this programme be put in the annals of the Airforce, which will be of a continuous nature to be held every Armed Forces Remembrance Day coming.
