adminrf18 2026-06-04T13:59:03+00:00We’re delighted to welcome our brilliant new team member, Jen Robinson. In this Q&A Jen talks about her love of books and how they’ve kept her “company and connected”. Can you share something about when you first heard of RF? When I first heard of Reading Force (and as a self-confessed bookworm) I was instantly drawn to the idea of a shared connection through books. It reminded me of catch-ups with friends and family, when the conversation inevitably moves to our latest favourite reads. And like so many members of the armed forces family, during my RAF [...]
