Exactly one year to the day since first shouldering a target rifle, Sgt Anselm has excelled herself at her first Schools Meeting. The trophy is for winning the 500 yds against 328 other cadets. Several other medals and spoons and Cadet 100 Badge. @OhgsPrincipal @graemetbell

With impeccable organisation our TEST Sgt arranged for the hottest day to be last with a visit to the aqua park - it’s safe to say the cadets had an absolute blast!! @OhgsPrincipal @graemetbell @aircadets

Another packed day of activities we had our drill competition. The smallest of margins decided the victor but at the end the cadets were treated to several Typhoons taking off close to where they stood. Off to the cinema now to round the day off. @OhgsPrincipal @graemetbell

After a visit to the amazing East Kirkby heritage centre to see the Lancaster and Mosquito taxiing the cadets have had a bit of shooting practice in the afternoon. @graemetbell @OhgsPrincipal

[OHGS CCF RAF Section @RafCcf]

Is there a finer sight, sound or smell than a Lancaster starting up? Our cadets don’t think so! @OhgsPrincipal @graemetbell

Safely arrived at RAF Coningsby for Summer Camp. Already being serenaded by the sound of Merlins what’s not to like… @graemetbell @OhgsPrincipal

[RAF Leeming @RAF_Leeming]

A flypast salute by the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team and black jets emblazoned with skull and crossbones was fitting farewell as RAF Leeming marked the closing of illustrious 100 Squadron.

The station won’t be the same without you.

Well done Mrs Begum, that was a fabulous Red Nose Day - highlight being the red nose and spoon race! Great work year 8 girls on the bake sale, and year 11 boys for their assembly. 🔴

A glorious day, tinged with sadness as 100 Sqn completes its final sortie in the aggressor role. Wg Cdr Ted Taylor-Head, OC 100 Sqn, said: “It was beautiful - you could see for miles. It’s great to have all the guys here. As I’ve said before, they ARE the Squadron.”
