2 WEEKS TO GO! 🎉
The first ever National Cadets Week is almost here.
A week celebrating the contribution of the UK’s cadet forces and the tens of thousands of young people and adult volunteers who support them.
Welcome back to the new lecture season!
It was fantastic to welcome the cadets of 172 (Haywards Heath) Squadron RAF Air Cadets. Their incredible enthusiasm and dedication were clear to see, particularly in the hard work they’ve put into the Bulldog restoration project.
