Today is the end of my 5 year tenure as Commandant of Middx & NW London ACF. Thank you to all who have been on the journey with me, inspiring young people to achieve. I shall miss it terribly and I take with me very happy memories. I wish the Sector much continued success.
My last Annual Camp with Middx & NW London ACF after 24 years. Visitors from London, Reg Comd and Australia.
So proud of all the cadets and staff.
Got something in my eye at the end!

Thanks to @RAFMuseum for the amazing venue and @BarnetBand for the excellent music!
Well done to London cadets looking very smart today at the Colonel's Review in their No.1 dress, directing guests to the the stands and a medal sweep of the parade square at the end. I am sure they are looking forward to doing it all over again next week!
