Would you dare taste these dishes...? 🤔

Last night, our cadets put their IET skills into practice to prepare a 3-course meal. Armed with a budget of £7 each, they were tasked to put together a menu that could be created using a camping stove...

[277 (Blackwood) Squadron RAFAC @277Sqn]

The menus were certainly varied, and some meals left a lot to the imagination, but their efforts were superb and the meals were... well, we'll let the pictures do the talking.

Well done to Plt Off McInerney and CI Boucher for braving the taste tests!!

Tonight our cadets took part in some planning exercises, working together in teams to crack these gruelling tasks.

It was certainly a hot night, so thanks to CI Watson for saving the day with ice lollies! 🍦

Tonight at 277 we had a variety of activities going on. A couple of our cadets had the chance to develop and improve their mountain biking 🚲 skills, whilst others took part in teamwork and leadership tasks using MTa kit, rope, pipes... and water!
