820 Naval Air Squadron Preparing For Final Sierra Leone Charity Drop

With British military medics and personnel helping in the fight against the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone, 820 Naval Air Squadron have had a full schedule over the past five months.
 
They've been flying food, aid, kit and personnel to some of the country's remotest regions. 
 
But inbetween their planned drops, the squadron have also found time to coordinate their own charity effort, delivering clothes and sports equipment donated by people back home in the UK to some of the worst-hit areas.
 
And they are now preparing for a final charity drop before they leave.
 
To donate to the RFA Argus appeal and help the charity 'Educaid', which runs a network of free schools for children in Sierra Leone, visit https://m.facebook.com/Ebolaappeal/about
