Last Thursday, 20th August, three members of 35 Squadron's staff and CivCom attended the National Air and Space Camp (NASC) Industry Day.
Hundreds of organisations came together to put on an incredible day for young people aged 12–17. Every stall offered a bit of cheeky merch alongside a wealth of information on the apprenticeships, careers, scholarships, courses, and support they provide.
Staff came away with plenty of ideas about tools the Squadron could invest in to help teach airmanship, STEM, leadership, Space, and drones, to name a few.
The energy and enthusiasm from the cadets was electric, and the day was topped off with an incredible air display running from start to finish. It featured dozens of teams including the Red Arrows, the Global Stars, and the Grob Tutor Display Team, and aircraft you'd struggle to see anywhere else.
One of the biggest takeaways was how often the announcer mentioned that a pilot, engineer, or serving member of the military had been an air cadet themselves.
