RAF Lyneham was alive with the sound of music as wing personnel competed against each other to win the Stars in Their Eyes Karaoke competition last week. Depth Support Wing personnel competed at the charity event in aid of Naomi House Hospice and Hope and Homes For Children in Sarajevo and raised £320.

Hits ranging from The Village People's YMCA to Abba's Mamma Mia were performed by the 13 acts with a clap o meter' signalling the winner. Corporal John Burt from Equipment Handling Flight was no solitary man as he performed Neil Diamond hits in drag, scooping the top prize, a meal for two at Spice of Asia Indian Restaurant in Lyneham.

The event was organised by the Depth Support Wing Charities Committee and supported by Lyneham Radio, RAF Lyneham's radio station which provided all the music and karaoke tunes for the evening.

Flying Officer Olivia Proctor, officer commanding the Depth Support Wing Charities Committee, said: "The night was a resounding success and over £320 was raised for the two deserving causes. A big thank you to all who helped and performed."
