Health Issues
Throughout our RAF careers, we have all been exposed to multiple aircraft emissions which may have been harmful to our health. If you have any concerns about this, you should consider approaching your GP for a blood test. Harry Watts has conducted extensive research and is putting together a claim for redress. Harry is in contact with a firm of solicitors who are sympathetic to his concerns, and he is very happy to put you in touch with the right professionals if you share these concerns. His email address is [email protected]
