1387 Liskeard Squadron - Air Training Corps

Today cadets from 1387 Liskeard Squadron represented Plymouth and Cornwall wing at the Inter-wing athletics competition. They went away and performed their very best and should all be very proud. With the hard work and determination alongside the rest of the Wing team, they were the overall winners of the competition.
A massive well done to all that took part!

RIP Flight Sergeant Buddy

Just a quick update. Cadets and staff from 1387 Sqn have made it to Germany for their summer camp. One of our cadets has joined the 2171 Sqn DofE practice expedition and is now camped resting for tomorrow’s walk.

The summer has barely begun but some of our cadets have already been on summer camp to RAF Benson home of the Puma and Chinook OCU where they can get up close to working RAF helicopters and even experience a flight in the RAF’s primary pilot trainer, the Grob Tutor. FS Ransley-Miles also attended an oversees camp to Germany where he stayed with the USAF at their base in Ramstein.

Congratulations to Sgt Price and Cpl Hibbin who have completed their Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s award expedition. The pair joined one of two teams from Plymouth & Cornwall Wing Air Cadets and walked 4 days over the Pennine Way through Teesdale and the Yorkshire Dales. That’s the hard part complete, once all five sections of their award is finished they will be invited to the palace to receive their certificates. Keep it going boys.

A cadet always looks smarter with a regulation haircut.
