HistoryVeteran Bandit, which is not a charity itself, was formed in June 2011 by former RAF servicemen and their families – all long-time fundraisers. The team came together as a response to the death in Afghanistan of a close family friend, Private Dean Hutchinson, 23, of the Royal Logistics Corps based at Buckley Barracks, Hullavington (formally RAF Hullavington). Organisation and main activitiesVeteran Bandit now comprises a core group of nine individuals across Britain who support the efforts of various Forces charities and individual fundraisers. The team is particularly active in publicising events and collating and distributing information via Twitter and Facebook.[1][2][3] Using two customised Suzuki Bandit motorcycles, the group also attend shows and fundraising events in order to provide information and support to the general public and to veterans and their families. One-off fundraising activities have included biker meets and the organisation of a mass skydive at Shotton Airfield, near Peterlee, County Durham to raise money for RAF Association (RAFA), a charity supporting veterans of air forces of the Commonwealth.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12482455 |title=BBC News - Fire death soldiers in Afghanistan named |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |date=2011-02-16 |accessdate=2013-04-26}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bfbs.com/news/afghanistan/soldiers-killed-camp-bastion-fire-named-44211.html |title=Soldiers killed in Camp Bastion fire named | British Forces News |publisher=Bfbs.com |date= |accessdate=2013-04-26}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://bfbs.com/radio/article/new-team-raises-funds-for-forces-via-twitter |title=New Team Raises Funds for Forces via Twitter | BFBS Radio |publisher=Bfbs.com |date= |accessdate=2013-04-26}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/10145318.The_sky_s_the_limit_for_fundraising_veteran/ |title=The sky's the limit for fundraising veteran (From The Northern Echo) |publisher=Thenorthernecho.co.uk |date=2013-01-07 |accessdate=2013-04-26}} External links
