Last week, during our Virtual Parade Night, the cadets were set a STEM challenge to create a 'balloon car'. They needed to design and make a car that would be powered by a balloon.
Tonight we saw two excellent entries from Cdt Murray and Cdt Borland. Well done!!

This morning we attended Christ Church in Jarrow to celebrate ATC Sunday.

Last night, we were lucky enough to be invited for a tour around Newcastle Aviation Academy!
We were shown around the academy to find out about what they do and the opportunities they provide. We were also able to have a look around various aircraft!
