Corporal Freya Bonham joined 233 (Pershore) Squadron on 6 January 2025. Although she joined later than most cadets, she quickly became a highly valued member of the squadron and maintained an impressive attendance rate of 88%.
In a remarkably short time, Freya achieved a wide range of qualifications, including the Wing Junior NCO Course, Instructor Cadet status, Bronze Youth First Aid, and multiple Blue-level badges. These achievements reflect her enthusiasm, commitment, and determination to make the most of every opportunity available to her.
However, Freya's greatest contribution has been her support of others. As a Corporal and Instructor Cadet, she has dedicated significant time to helping develop the newest members of Hawk Flight, always setting a positive example through her professionalism, patience, and willingness to help.
Freya is now moving on to the University of South Wales to study Aeronautical Engineering and hopes to join the University Air Squadron, continuing her passion for aviation and hopefully getting to fly the Grob Tutor, sadly denied last weekend, because of technical issues.
Corporal Bonham, thank you for everything you have contributed to 233 (Pershore)
Squadron. You have achieved an exceptional amount in a short period of time and have left a lasting impact on both staff and cadets alike.
We wish you every success in your studies and future career. You will be greatly missed, and we look forward to welcoming you back whenever you can return.
Corporal Freya Bonham, thank you for your service to 233 (Pershore) Squadron.
