Royal visit lit up Dubbo Base
On 17 October 2018, TRH The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were officially welcomed to the Dubbo Base by RFDS South Eastern Section President Ruth Sandow.
Mrs Sandow gave the royal couple a brief introduction to the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the importance of our work for rural and remote communities, particularly during the drought.
After meeting Flying Doctor staff, families, and former patients, the Royal couple pulled the curtain to reveal the name of the new aircraft, which will be known as the 'Dubbo and Region Volunteers dedicated by TRH The Duke and Duchess of Sussex'.
The Royal visit to our Dubbo base attracted worldwide media coverage.
