the whole history of the raf is about amazing people.w wonderful everyone i have ever worked with who have come from the raf has been. and how willing and open to new ideas and innovation they have been. during the cold war, the raf played an absolutely critical role in keeping us safe. actually, if you look at what we have been doing in nato, the fact that we had the royal air force in romania, a key and pivotal part of their air defence command, and when you go to romania and you speak to romanians, there's a real pride and sense of appreciation that they have to the role the royal air force has played, and they were not there just passively. they were scrambling in order to respond to potential threats that the romanian air force were also having to deal with. i think one of the mentions that the secretary of state and other honourable and right honourable members today have made, is about the duty that we owe these people with regard to their well—being and halth, and i think it's imperative upon us that we remember this, because whi

an raf aircraft technician from south wales who held the british marathon record for 33 years until molier this year. he won marathons in london new york and chicago but according to his mp, like many local sporting euros, stevejones has never had the recognition he deserved. the unusual thing about steve is that he is a world—class record breaking athlete, who hardly anyone knows about. steve is one of the most successful long—distance runners ever produced in our country. despite his multiple achievements, many people know very little about this british athletics hero. the new sports minister said local heroes should be celebrated. i think a statute for steve would be the only time he would be seen standing still. looking back to those days, i think marathons in london, new york and toronto and those are places i have gone to run, the marathons and the contributions to it by british athletics should be celebrated by this chamber and i am very pleased to do that. also important to remember what got steve are running. so opportunities like park run—through being able to support people
