A fantastic morning was enjoyed at the Arundel Armed Forces & Veterans Breakfast Club. at The Red Lion - Arundel where we celebrated one of our members' birthdays with a hearty breakfast and great company.

It was also wonderful to welcome several new faces, who received a warm Arundel Breakfast Club welcome.

With this being a busy time of year, we embraced the military tradition of the '5 Ps' - Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance - and made sure everyone was signed up for the Arundel Royal British Legion Branch (Founded 1921) Christmas Meeting and Dinner on Tuesday 8 December 2026.

Places are filling quickly, with only a few remaining, so please book soon if you would like to attend.:

Here is a sneak preview from our guest speaker and vice chair Rich Spreckley VR who is talking about his time on Operations in Afghanistan at our next meeting at Arundel Football Club, just over a week away on the 07.09.26.

His role meant he flew in many different types of airframes from the UK and US, across the theatre of operations. This compilation of footage from his personal collection gives us an idea of flying in the Chinook HC2.

Members and non members are most welcome to attend. We look forward to seeing you!
