(LONDON) - In December 2011 Len Aldis, Secretary of the Britain-Vietnam Friendship Society and a small select number of government guests and dignitaries were invited to fly on the inaugural direct flight from the UK to Vietnam.

Len was honoured to be invited as a participant on this momentous occasion in Vietnam - UK aviation history.

During the lengthy flight, Len was instrumental in changing the arrival programme, suggesting the delegation visit the children at the Peace Villiage Hoa Binh at Tu Du Hospital rather than the Cu Chi Tunnels.

MP George Howarth, a long term friend of Vietnam and Chairman of Parliament's All Party Vietnam Group was noticeably affected by what he saw at the Peace Village which resulted (see attached below) in the reception and fund-raising auction in the prominent government office building housing the offices of Members of Parliament, Portcullis House.

Len is working to establish further events to raise much needed funds for the Victims of Agent Orange.
