This weekend was another busy one for cadets of 1047.

Saturday saw a number of cadets attend the inter-squadron Athletics competition, in which our cadets competed against other cadets from the other 23 squadrons within the Staffordshire wing.

Sunday, we had Cadet Jeer attend alongside four other cadets from the wing to complete the RAFAC Bronze Air Training package course.
Following her successful completion, Cadet Jeer was awarded her Bronze Wings by Flt Lt M Smith, Staffordshire wing aviation officer.

Another great weekend for the squadron, and another one planned for next weekend.
