RAF musician Shona Brownlee was coming to the end of basic training when she got injured – what seemed innocuous at first, turned in to years of surgery and eventually the decision to amputate her right leg below the knee. She was introduced to skiing through the Battle Back programme and she’s gone on to represent GB at the recent Paralympics games in Beijing. Still serving, Shona was named RAF Sportswoman of the Year in 2021, but away from her sporting prowess, she tells Forces Sport how fiercely dedicated she is to her first love – and the reason she joined the military – music.
