In a unique event to mark 100 years of the Royal Air Force, 100 super cars travelled in convoy across the Forth Road Bridge to Broomhall House Estate in Dunfermline today.
On arrival at Broomhall House, Lord Bruce hosted the impressive array of cars, including a Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Countach, McLaren 675LT and their drivers at an event to raise funds for the RAF’s leading welfare charity, the RAF Benevolent Fund.
Guests were joined by RAF veteran Arthur Reid, who flew with Bomber Command during the Second World War, and enjoyed a Tiger Moth flypast, a static Spitfire aircraft display and guided tours of the Broomhall House collection.
Baz Dale, Area Director at the RAF Benevolent Fund, said: “It was an incredible sight to see all of these beautiful cars, vintage and modern super car models, form a convoy over one of the most recognisable bridges in the British Isles, especially with the Pipes and Drums providing a very Scottish soundtrack! The RAF’s centenary celebrations are a great opportunity for the RAF Benevolent Fund to spread the word about the vital work we do supporting RAF personnel, past and present and their families.
“Events like this allow us to fulfil our mission of ensuring no member of the RAF Family faces adversity alone, by providing emotional, practical and financial help, when they need it.”
