Today the latest graduation of Ukrainian pilots from RAF Elementary Flying Training took place, attended by Armed Forces Minister @LukePollard & Ukrainian Ambassador General Valerii Zaluzhnyi.

The next step is advanced fast jet training & conversion to F-16 with partner nations.

Hugely proud of both the cadets achievements and the teams from 6 FTS and Babcock that are delivering this training.

Air Cadets Fly High (Literally!) 🌟

Have you heard? 4 Royal Air Force Air Cadets have flown solo in a Grob Tutor, the first air cadets ever to do so.

[Commandant6FTS @Commandant6FTS]

A huge well done to the first 3 RAF Air Cadets who completed their first powered solo flights on the Tutor yesterday. These Cadets are the first to conduct the new Air Cadet Pilot Scholarship scheme, delivered by Number 6 Flying Training School.

[Commandant6FTS @Commandant6FTS]

Fantastic to see 6 FTS delivering air experience flying for @aircadets from the south-west region at RNAS Culdrose. Huge thanks to @Babcockplc and @RNASCuldrose for their unwavering support and help in delivering this important task.
