It’s been a long and challenging week but very rewarding. Senior Cadets from across SW came together to learn about Advanced Leadership Theory and how to be Leadership Instructors. Very proud of what everyone achieved #futureleaders @ComdtAC @aircadets @SWRegionRAFAC

Awesome to see @aircadets from across @aircadetslaser and @SWRegionRAFAC getting airborne at @622VGS today.

It’s felt like we’ve not done much for a while but aviation is very much back! ✈️

The Cadet Force Adult Volunteers gain significant social and personal benefits from participation, alongside undertaking nationally recognised training. This not only helps them in their cadet role, but can also improve their earning potential.#NoOrdinaryVolunteer@ChiefofAirStaff

It’s worth noting:

➡️Fasts open between 8-9pm, which coincides with parade times
➡️Cadets may not fast but their family members may not be able drop them off to Sqn
➡️Cadets’ parents may be up at 3am to start their fast so cadets could be tired
