The Patron of the Friends is HRH the Prince of Wales.
Mr John Mohin is UK Chairman and the other Directors/Trustees include Mrs Sue Clifford, Sir Michael Bishop CBE, Mr John Milhinch, Mrs Marina Ritossa and Sir Christopher Benson. The Hon Richard Alston, Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom is Vice Patron.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service gratefully acknowledges this support.
