CELEBRATING SPORTING INITIATIVE
AT RAF GIBRALTAR!
|
Last week, the 2025 RAF Sport Awards brought together the very best of the Royal Air Force’s sporting talent and dedication in an afternoon of celebration and pride.
Amongst the standout achievements was the announcement of RAF Gibraltar as this year’s RAF Central Fund Unit Award winner, recognised for its spirited initiative to encourage serving personnel to get active through their Op GUSTO project.
This award highlights the incredible effort of everyone at RAF Gibraltar in fostering a thriving sporting culture, encouraging participation at all levels, and demonstrating how sport strengthens not only fitness but also camaraderie and morale across a unit. |
CONQUERING THE LAND, SEA AND SKY -
SAM SHARES HIS STORY |
Corporal Sam Anderton’s story is one of true determination and versatility. Joining the RAF with a dream of becoming one of the RAF Falcons parachute jumping display team, Sam’s passion for sports has carved out paths across the land, sea and sky.
Sam talks to us about how diversifying across multiple sports disciplines has enriched his life by broadening his skills as an athlete, supporting his career growth in the RAF, and how grants from the RAF Central Fund have enabled him to continue pursuing his love for boxing. |
