Wing Training Day - 17th May 2009
This was a day to remember for the squadron!!
We proved we were the best in the whole of the wing by bringing home the trophy for the overall winners of the day. Every cadet contributed to this magnificent success but especially the aircraft modelling team led by CIs Innes and North and the First Aid team led by Cdt Sgt Wray.
It is a fantastic time to be part of such a great squadron! Well done to all cadets and staff!
