RAF Halton welcomes Dunstable Air Cadets for another fun weekend Twenty-two Air Cadets from 460 (Dunstable) Squadron took part in a high octane and action-packed two days when they were invited to spend last weekend at RAF Halton near Wendover in Buckinghamshire The action started on Saturday morning with the Squadron Drill Team practicing their skills in preparation for the Summer’s competitions and shows in the purpose built drill facility, while the rest of the Cadets honed their shooting skills on the 25m rifle range under the guidance of qualified adult staff. With fine weather on their side for the whole weekend the enthusiastic cadets swapped roles in the afternoon and participated in a variety of leadership exercises in preparation for the Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire Wing annual field day competition in June. Sunday morning saw the cadets putting up one of the squadron’s enormous marquees as a team exercise, after which there was plenty of fun and laughter as they tested their initiative and balance on RAF Halton’s purpose built low rope course under the guidance of a member of the RAF Recruit Training Team. Cadet Murphy, pictured with team-mates on the rope course said: “We all had a really great time. I love these weekends away and we never have time to get bored. Some my school friends are envious of the fun that I have and I know that a few will be joining the Air Cadets themselves soon. I’m just looking forward to our next adventure in two weeks time when we all go away to our “Wing Field Weekend” where we will compete with the other squadrons in our Wing”.
