It was really good to see lots of cadets attending and having fun at athletics this year. The competition was really strong and we did well for both the girls and boys under 16 teams to place overall.

Under 16 boys come 2nd overall

I tried my best, had fun helped out anyone I could. Overall my highlight was Nish’s support for everyone in our team.

Congratulations to the following cadets who recently successfully passed their Bronze / Silver Leadership course.

Fs Woodhams:
Bronze leadership was a brilliant experience and I am pleased I have completed it. I have learnt many new skills that I did no know I had and made alot of new friends along the way.

Fs Scott:
I really enjoyed this Silver course and found it very informative. I liked meeting new people and developing new leadership skills to use on squadron.

Fs Bright:
The Bronze leadership course is a necessary step each cadet should to take as it sharpens your leadership skills by working in a team and not always with people you know. I enjoyed the course as the staff teaching made it feel interesting and interactive but also because I spoke to some friends.

Cpl Harris:
Bronze Leadership was a really good experience — it taught me how to work better in a team and become a stronger leader by truly listening to others and it was really fun talking to everyone there.

As threats evolve and the pace of operations increases, synthetic training is no longer just a supplement to real-world flying, it is a cornerstone of how the RAF builds the force of tomorrow.
