Robert Trotter sent a message to Michael OLeary that said:
HI, Michael, I come to you cap in hand to see if you can help a few veterans with a big meet up. I have recently returned from a bash in Blackpool, an icredible success, not only uniting veterans from all branches to form life long friendships but raising much needed funds for Veterans Charity. I am mailing you in the hope that you may have the capacity to help make a second bash possible in Portugal. Some of our brothers will not have the funds to fly to portugal under their own steam so I am asking if you might be able to offer some of our members a reduced price flight or some sort of support for our veterans wishing to meet up for some well earned R & R.
Thank you for taking the time to read my mail
