Condolence message from the @ComdtAC Air Commodore Tony Keeling, regarding His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, our former Royal Patron for 63 years.

[Comdt 2 FTS @fts_2]

Good news: we have aligned the post-CV19-lockdown recovery flying for the VGS with Step 2 of the Govt Roadmap (currently 12 Apr); this will see a gradual reintroduction of VGS gliding and AGS activities. @aircadets should begin safely launching skywards in Step 3 (after 17 May).

[Comdt 2 FTS @fts_2]

Happy 80th Birthday to the @aircadets!
Hoping that 2 FTS will soon be able to safely launch our RAF air cadets skywards again.
In the meantime, stay safe and well.

Number of years since each station last recorded wind gusts of equal strength or stronger than #StormDennis.
Most notable feature was the bow echo over S Britain - produced strongest gust at Pembrey Sands for 4 years, Mumbles Head for 6 years and Little Rissington for 13 years!🌬️
