WALTER MEETS BARRIE
Members of the Chapter are very proud of their support for the new London Air Ambulance helicopter "Walter", which entered service in 2016, having been half-funded by London Freemasons, and half-funded by public subscription.
Walter, who now works alongside the previously existing helicopter "Rowan", has already been seen in action by many members of the Chapter, but we believe that the closest encounter has been with Barrie, one of our members, who found Walter sitting in a public park at the end of his road one evening in September 2016, and even had a chance to chat with the pilot.
The photograph was taken by Barrie, and shows Walter waiting patiently whilst his crew go about their work, before returning to the skies to continue providing protection to London's residents.
