I may have missed it, but what is your point?

Mine was that until fairly recently it was a RAFBF home purely for those who served, or had close relatives who served, in the Royal Air Force. I too met Lord Tedder's daughter and spent time with her and perused her father's papers at Alastrean. Wonderful Lady.

Now it is just another care home, but with a proud history of serving former RAF personnel. Some 'retirees' of the RAF are still resident with financial assistance from the BF, in much the same way the BF supports aged airmen in need anywhere else. Quite properly.

But it ain't what it was and we are poorer for it's loss.
