Today we remember RAF Air Cadet Edward Wilson ( Aged 16)
Murdered by an IRA bomb at the Air Training Corps building, Old Cavehill Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland on 26th Jan 1975.
Lest we forget
We say goodbye to Wing Commander Mike Miskimmin (@oc_nireland) ahead of his forthcoming retirement from @NI_WingATC. He has been an inspiration to thousands of cadets in Northern Ireland and will be sadly missed! #CadetsNI 👨✈️🛩️
The @NI_WingATC motto 'Venture Adventure' is more than just words - it's an attitude that helps cadets stand out.
Membership is rewarding. You'll discover skills you never knew you had and visit places you never even dreamed of! ➡️ https://t.co/rfDC7gI7AQ #CadetsNI 👩✈️🛩️
