BREAKING NEWS 8.45AM: Following the outcry over the ban on RAF Wittering personnel wearing uniforms in the city, Gp Capt Ro Atherton offers this statement to the people of Peterborough as thanks for their support.
The station commander said: "The instruction I gave to my personnel not to wear uniform in Peterborough still stands, as their safety is my prime concern.
"RAF Wittering has enjoyed an exceptionally good relationship with the city of Peterborough over many years and the vast majority of its people are tremendously supportive of our personnel, demonstrated by the large number of telephone calls in support received.
"We have the honour to have been awarded the Freedom of the City in 1983 and, although still in the planning stage, we look forward to exercising that right later this year."
