This evening, the Wing Warrant Officer and I conducted four Cadet Warrant Officer boardings. I’m delighted that all passed and now join the CWO cadre of the Wing.
Please join me in congratulating CWO’s Hemming, Cox, Stokes & Jones! @wbwaircadets @WMRFCA

Vera started losing her sight 15 years ago so doesn't get to the City Ground regularly anymore.

She's 92 and the club invited her to hear Mull of Kintyre once again.

The Trent End obliged.

What a club ❤️

83 years ago, on 5 February 1941, the Air Training Corps was formed.

Now known as the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, we continue to go from strength to strength.

Happy birthday to us! 🥳

A very busy and rewarding day, visiting @RAF_Cosford to visit with the Wing’s SNCO and Drill courses (had a quick practice of Sword Drill whilst there), then over to watch some of our newer cadets on the range. @wbwaircadets @YOUWestMids @RCWalesandWest1

Incredibly proud to lead over 100 cadets at the Remembrance Parade at Coventry. Fabulous turn out despite the weather.

Fantastic to see so many out for the Armistice Parade in Bedworth, one of very few held on 11th November every year.

Today is World Mental Health Day, if we all checked in with one person, everyone would know they’re not alone.

Sometimes poor mental Health isn’t as obvious that you might think.

This video from @NorwichCityFC is the best bit of Mental Health Awareness I’ve ever seen… watch until the end.

[OC Warwickshire & Birmingham Wing RAFAC @OC_WarksBham]

A fantastic day and a great opportunity for staff from across the wing to meet up and talk collaboration and innovation.

[wbwaircadets @wbwaircadets]
