RAF sends airman's family £1,000 funeral bill
The Royal Air Force has been criticized for refusing to pay a £1,000 bill for flowers and tea at the funeral of an airman killed on operations in Afghanistan.
Flight Sergeant Gary Wayne Andrews was killed in a Nimrod MR2 crash in Afghanistan in September last year.
His parents were told that the RAF were prepared to pay funeral costs of £3,249 but they were not prepared to pay a £425 bill for flowers or £606 for tea and biscuits at his funeral.
