A busy couple few weeks for the squadron. Last weekend we participated in the first sector six L144 training and shooting weekend where cadets from the squadron all successfully passed their trained shot.

We have also had exam success with cadets successfully passing leading, senior and master classifications.

Last but by no means least we were joined by our friends from 362 Elm Tree Squadron - Open Page for a local walk covering roughly 7.5 miles from Dinnington out to the former RAF Firbeck and then on to Roach Abbey then returning back to Dinnington. Where cadets practiced map reading skills as well as embracing the Christmas spirit!
