THE sun will always shine at RAF Leeming now that the base has a solarium suite.
Station commander Group Captain Brian Bates opened the suite, which is the latest addition to the activities run by the Service Institute Fund (Sif).
Fund president Squadron Leader Mike Lumsdon said: "In recent years, Service Institute Funds have had to become much more entrepreneurial to boost greatly-needed income for junior ranks' welfare and activities.
"At Leeming the Sif owns and runs a hairdressing salon, an all ranks' bar and a coffee shop with an overall turnover in excess of £100,000."
The addition of the solarium is expected to boost profits as well as provide an alternative to the autumnal weather.
