Being a St John cadet can involve many things, who knew that ferry captain was amongst those things. Many thanks to Red Funnel (IoW Ferries) for looking after our team of cadets during the recent crossing. They enjoyed the tour of the bridge and taking the controls immensely.

Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting a group of cadets from St John Ambulance - Isle of Wight for a special VIP visit up to the bridge of Red Eagle!🚢 Whilst onboard, they got an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how the vessel operates. They even had the chance to take the helm themselves! ⚓️
