Barrow Hall Primary School, Warrington is on the site of the old Burtonwood Airbase which was the the largest US Airbase outside America. So when x service men and women who were stationed at RAF Burtonwood the children wrote a song in their song writing club, with a little guidance from David A Jones from Presto Music. The song, Thank you for the service went down so well that the Head of Music for the RAF, Wing Commander Piers Morrell, has inducted it into the official RAF100 Years legacy material to celebrate and mark the event, and he aims to use it in the RAF Youth Outreach Program.
The song is available for download from CDBaby, and all profits to to Help for Heroes.
