415 Brecon Detached Flight RAF Air Cadets

I feel the need….. The need to demonstrate proficiency in using the flying controls for basic flight manoeuvres 😎 On Tuesday, the Cadets took another step towards slipping the surly bonds of earth! Everyone completed their Part Task Training, the practical element they have to achieve to be eligible for Air Experience Flying or Gliding. Some great efforts all round, and learning how to control the movements of an aircraft always looks a lot easier than it is, even on the simulator. Well done all! 🎉

A night of mixed emotions last Tuesday for the DF. On a happy note, all of our Cadets were formally attested into RAFAC by our DF Padre, watched by some proud parents. Taking the Cadet Promise is a very special moment that they will remember for the rest of the time with RAFAC and its words affirm what great citizens they are rapidly becoming.
Sadly, the evening also saw the last time our long-serving Padre , Marc-Ashton Walford attended the DF. Padre Marc has been a firm favourite with cadets in his tenure with us. From leading discussions on social issues identified by the cadets, to being a great listener and guide, via his zany antics with quizzes and challenges! Not a single session with Padre Marc passed without the sounds of enthusiastic laughter drifting out of wherever he was leading activities.
All of us at the DF will miss him and wish him every success in pastures new.
Marc, on behalf of the OC, Staff and most importantly the cadets at 415DF a massive “THANK YOU AND GOOD LUCK”!! 🍀 👍🏻😎⭐️🥇

Today, we remember and honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who served during the Second World War, as we mark VE Day.

More 80 years on, their legacy continues to inspire generations of cadets across the UK.

Lest we forget ❤️✈️

Parents take note!! Next time your phone battery dies, or the car Sat Nav loses itself, help is at hand!
Tonight our cadets started their first class syllabus, mastering the beginnings of their map reading skills. They confidently identified different maps and their uses, identified map symbols, and learned to master the mysteries of 6 figure grid references. Now, was it along the corridor and up the stairs, or was it the other way around….. 🤔🤔🤷🏻🗺️
