So today is a day to remember for the airborne medics as today in 1943 the first airborne medic of WW2 was killed. He was known as Jimmy Riddle but his real name was William Robson Riddle who was a member of 16PFA and died in North Africa.

On this day 79 years ago one of the men in an iconic photograph from the North African fighting was killed – Major Richard Ashford MC.

We love seeing what Cadets are getting up to in the lead-up to Christmas, including these two examples from 1265 (Horncastle) Squadron and 1803 (Hucknall) Squadron who have collected food for Christmas hampers for those in need in their communities @aircadets

British soldier Private Albert Willingham sacrificed his life to save Dutch civilians during #WW2 in 1944.

Now, 77 years later, it's thought some of his possessions have been discovered.

This is Pte Willingham's story. 👇

@MartinNadin @144Oc General Hawley wasn't quite so complimentary when he met us at the Abbey! He must have been kidding though because he commissioned the pair of us 🤣
You bore witness to mine 💪
I hope that your day was as good as ours, it was a great one to close out on.
