A couple of years ago I'd find this difficult to do, but now I can do this!

A massive well done to 14 of our Cadets who have this weekend completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh practice expedition! This is the first step in completing their DofE award and was very challenging given the temperatures!

Throughout my life, the RAFAC has been one of the only places where my condition does not define me. I have been able to achieve so much without it holding me back! @ACO_RCNORTH @aircadets @RAFAC_Aspire @OC_SWYorksWing @ComdtAC

[South & West Yorkshire Wing Air Cadets @SWYorksWing]

Today is National Nystagmus Awareness Day! Sqn Ldr Jim Williamson, OC Sector One, has persevered with the condition throughout his life and helps make up our diverse senior leadership team at the Wing!

This is what heroes look like when they battle fascists. They came from all creeds and colours to battle pure evil and they went through hell!

Today Cadets attended a memorial event for three local airmen who died during Operation Chastise in WWII. The raid more commonly know as the “dambusters raid” involved RAF aircrews targeting dams in Germany using a revolutionary type of bouncing bomb.

[Sqn Ldr Jim Williamson RAFAC @SC1SWYorks]

When you go home, tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow, we gave our today.
