Three go Flying

On Tuesday 14th April, Cadets Ladowski, Miles-Webster and Cpl Morrison spent the day at RAF Leeming for a day flying with number 11 Air Experience Flight.
Sharing the airfield with the Hawk 167 who were flying their own training exercises, the cadets got to experience life on a live airfield, before their own turn to take to the air and experience the joys of getting airborne in the lovely spring weather.
