⭐️ FLYING SUCCESS FOR FLIGHT SERGEANT HAYBALL ⭐️

Over the course of 3 weeks at RAF Cranwell, FS Hayball took part in ACPS. This course would deliver the first part of the elementary flying syllabus for the Grob Tuor. Over the 3 weeks he learned the basics of powered flying as well as aerobatics under the UAS syllabus. He also flew in both display aircraft for the Tutor Display Team and with their display pilot.

FS Hayball said
“It was a privilege to take part on this course and I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. Flying the tutor alone is fantastic and being taught how to fly the aircraft itself is another level. ACPS is a highlight from my cadet career and I’ll take on the lessons leaned from this course back to the VGS and life in general. Thank you to 7AEF and EMUAS”

CADET/NCO TAKEOVER DAY - Wing Athletics Edition 🏃🏃‍♀️

Look out for our cadet and NCO takeover day for S&E Mids Wing Athletics on social media today!

We are looking forward to showing you a first person insight of wing events from a cadet perspective, with the plan of making this a regular thing for all wing events!

Yesterday, a small group of 1359 Beeston Squadron, alongside our Squadron Warrant Officer, WO Phillips, joined up with other local squadrons to attend the Albert Ball Parade at Nottingham Castle.

The Albert Ball Parade is an annual parade that serves to remember the late Albert Ball, a World War One fighter pilot, and distinguished Flying Ace, who was tragically killed in combat.

Although only a small group of cadets from 1359 Beeston Squadron attended the event, alongside the other local squadrons, they were a fantastic example of what the Royal Air Force Air Cadets is all about, a real credit to the organisation and themselves!

A big shout out to our junior boys team who finished 1st overall! The quest for Olympic gold in the future is well on the cards 😊

Another shout out goes to Cdt Puk, Cdt Green, Cdt Jones and Cdt Bassford, who after a fine display, made the wing swimming team and will compete against other wings in our region in a future competition!

WELL DONE ALL 🎉
