COMMUNITY NEWS
Closure of RAFCOM
In accordance with the Government's Website Rationalisation Programme this website will close on 31 March 2011. We are obviously very sad about this, but have already created a replacement site (www.raf.mod.uk/community) which we hope you will utilise. The new site has forums and a chat facility, but unfortunately, we were unable to provide an email account facility. We understand that this will be a disappointment to many of our customers, but there was only a finite amount of money available for the transfer to the new website. The RAF Community Support Department would like to express our sincere thanks to the management and staff of Human Resources Technologies, Inc, our friends in the United States, who have so ably hosted this wonderful facility on our behalf for the last 9 years. We wish them well.
