Buy a patch from the A330 MRTT crew and support people affected by the floods
The A330 MRTT tanker and its international crew were also due to attend the event. They were planning to sell patches for a good cause - specifically, for a sick little boy.

The patches are on sale, but the money will go elsewhere.
