THE PRINCE of Wales has dedicated a stained glass window at Salisbury Cathedral to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Army Air Corps (AAC).
Prince Charles, the Colonel in Chief of the AAC along with the Chief of the General Staff, General Sir Richard Dannatt, the Dean of Salisbury, the Very Rev June Osborne (pictured), the Rt Rev David Wilkes Chaplain-General to the Forces, and the Bishop of Salisbury, the Rt Rev David Stancliffe led the Nov 16 service for the men of the seven Regiments of the AAC.
The AAC window consists of two panels depicting the Archangel Michael and St Christopher with depictions of AAC military operations. At the base of the window lie the AAC prayer and a passage from Isaiah.
