Is Cadet Denys Tiutiunnyk the first Ukranian @DofE recipient? We think he might be. So very hardworking, building up lots of qualifications since arriving in the UK two years ago. @ComdtAC @AirCadetsNorth 👏 👏 🇺🇦

Great news for 861

[861 (Wideopen) Sqn @WideopenATC]

Cadet Tiutiunnyk and Corporal Brice head off on their DofE Expedition alongside colleagues from 733 and 1114

Could Cadet T be the first Ukranian to complete a DofE Bronze???

Another great shout out for 861 Wideopen Squadron from Robson Green on his coast to coast show on C5. We STILL provide the young people of the Wideopen area with those flying and gliding experiences and more! #Riversmeetproductions #RobsonGreen
