On Sunday four of our Cadets were selected to go gliding in the Viking Glider with 644 VGS at RAF Syerston. This was the first time our Cadets have been airborne since the start of the pandemic and we are already looking forward to the next time we can go!

Recently some of our Cadets completed their CREST Awards by investigating hoop gliders. We also opened up our MTa kit for the first time for some leadership development tasks. #ilkley #wharfedale #stem #crestaward #mtakit

On Monday, the Sqn visited Ilkley Fire Station The crew there gave presentations on what West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service do, as well as fire safety, before showing the Cadets around some of the kit that they use. The Cadets had a great evening and would like to thank all at the Station for the visit!
