A short while ago CaravanTimes reported on the ‘<' . strtolower('Array') href=" http://www.caravantimes.co.uk/news/festivals/raf-cosford-exhibit-explains-how-caravans-helped-during-the-battle-of-britain-$21383223.htm">historic relationship between caravans and the Royal Air Force, commemorated annually by a caravan show at the RAF’s Cosford museum.
Now it seems the mutual bond is being reincarnated, as an Elddis motorhome has joined the ranks of RAF Coningsby.
Following approval from the Royal Air Force funding authority, RAF Coningsby visited Brownhills Motorhomes Ltd looking for a leisure vehicle to suit their brave and hard-working officers’ needs, during their well deserved down time.
After impressing the small RAF contingent at Brownhills, the six-berth ‘<' . strtolower('Array') href="/elddis/elddis-autoquest/">Elddis Autoquest 180 joined the illustrious ranks of Her Majesty’s air forces.
In December 2013 at a handover ceremony at the Coningsby RAF base attended by Brownhills employees, the Elddis Autoquest lined up with its new cohorts, holding its own beside a Typhoon fighter jet.
“The Elddis Autoquest is the UK’s best-selling motorhome and a great British success story”, the Durham manufacturer’s Rachel Moncrieff tells us.
“It’s really satisfying that in such a competitive market the Royal Air Force chose Elddis and are giving such a great perk to their service personnel.”
The Elddis Autoquest 180 will be at the disposal of 2,000 undoubtedly eager RAF personnel.
“We’re looking forward to hear what adventures the Coningsby crew get up to!” Rachel says.
