Looking sharp one and all. Well done on your turn out. Not bad at all for cadets and staff that have been here for a week already and built the @RIATCDTDET campsite! #airtattoo #RIAT22 #noordinaryhobby

I escaped camp and got time show-side at Royal International Air Tattoo today. Got to see my friend Katy Lee MBE ✈️ on the #Inspire stage, randomly bumped into visiting RAF Air Cadets colleagues & got a tour round the SwAFHF aircraft. Win! #swedishairforce #historicflight #RIAT22 @RIATCDTDET

Today was the leave day for the @RIATCDTDET Main Camp - I hope they all had a brilliant weekend. It’s left the campsite massively empty, made all the more empty by the Extended Camp cadets and staff hiding in the bunkers from the heat! #hottestdayoftheyear

After hiding in the bunkers from yesterday’s heat & only managing a little bit of work, today the cadets have absolutely rocked the #RIAT22 @RIATCDTDET camp strike! Teamwork, leadership & camaraderie all coming together to demonstrate how brilliant the RAF Air Cadets are! #airtattoo

Campsite coming down nicely this morning. The only tents left are the ones that were slept in last night. It’s all got to come down today but I have absolute faith in the cadets & staff that it will just get done because they are all amazing! RAF Air Cadets Royal International Air Tattoo @RIATCDTDET

A bit of #DofE Exped (remote) supervision for me today! It’s a nice day to be ambling about in #oxfordshire It’s dry, overcast and warm with a nice breeze. Just waiting at a water crossing point to ensure the groups get safely over the lock! Environment Agency RAF Air Cadets @aircadets_tvw

I was at the hangar last Saturday carrying on with the tent recovery post-RIAT etc., but forgot to Tweet as I’m rubbish as Social Media.

I helped deliver a Basic Radio Operator course last Sunday, but forgot to Tweet about it as I’m sometimes poor at Social Media Comms… (radio but unrelated photo)

And finally… Today I’ve been back in the hangar. 2FTS National Air & Space Camp returned the loaned tents and beds. I had a good chat with our OC IT about next @RIATCDTDET IT needs and I patched a depressing number of holes in ground sheets. Early leave today though as I’m off to a Dining-In Night!

Today’s clean(er!) ground sheet pile. A good day’s work. I am physically tired now though. Great to hear that the VGS we share with had a #winning day too! Comdt 2 FTS @RIATCDTDET RAF Air Cadets

Massive thanks to 501 Sqn RAuxAF; they’ve come to help, while carrying out training and gaining experience, and there is already a pile of sorted 12’x12’s! Everyone’s back tomorrow for more too…

More tent sorting today for the team of RAFAC volunteers too; this time 9’x9’s. We’ve not had much experience of these, so it was off to the Internet for the packing list…
