The Jon Egging Trust (JET) has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, which is a formal commitment created more than a decade ago for organisations with links to the armed forces.

Emma Egging, who set up the charity in 2011 following the death of her husband Red Arrows pilot Jon Egging, said the agreement is “hugely symbolic” due to the charity’s links with the RAF.
