The week the cadets faced a ‘Masterchef Dessert Challenge’. Each team received the same briefing and ingredients and had to produce 3 desserts to meet specific criteria and were given the option of creating a bonus dessert. 1/4

Scores would be given based on taste, looks and meeting the brief. Three plucky volunteers were recruited from the staff team to conduct the reviews and taste tests. 2/4

Plenty of supervised handwashing started the evening and every time a cadet retrieved their phone to take pictures, they’d be whisked off to wash their hands again. 3/4

Despite earlier confusion on the faces of the cadets, the results were far better than expected and some good scores were received. No staff members were harmed as a result of their taste testing 😊 4/4

At the start of the year we set ourselves some targets and here's our progress so far, at the end of Q1. Great work and achievement from everyone. Beds & Cambs Wing #whatwedo

The effect you will have on those young people in your charge will be amazing. Thank you and enjoy the experience. Without people like you, I would never have joined the RAF (big shout out to Pete Ephgrave and Doug Crew who led 2386 Sqn ‘back in the day’)!

Thank you Sir. Good to see this and especially our Sgt completing his course. 👍👍👍

Do you think he could portray Feargal Sharkey ??

Scary to think that I was enrolled as a cadet at 2529 Burgess Hill on this day in 1984, and it was a Friday 13th too! Our first 7 female cadets were also enrolled that night & rightly they got the press coverage. Three of us made CWO. Where has that time gone? Sussex Wing
