Freezing to start and then the sun came out.

Richard Williamson sat the Bronze C exam to see what he needed to brush up on. He passed with flying colours. I am taking side bets now;  will Richard overtake Dad Nigel and get to that Bronze C first?

Welcome to the 18 Kelly College CCF cadets. Thanks for pressing on with operation “first impressions” with such enthusiasm. Cadets rotated through volunteering activities, team building exercises and practical simulator training, under the watchful eye of commanding officer Dominic Tomalin.

Richard Williamson and I looked after the classroom stuff (nearest to the fire!) Richard is a civilian instructor with the ATC. Meanwhile Karon Matten, Jacob Knight and Robin Wilson led the volunteering groups---thanks everyone for making this a great day.

The west face of the workshop is now clear of gorse brambles and rubbish and ready for a jet wash and paint, a cupboard full of tins of paint has been shifted from its old home in the hangar to the Portacabin and ready for sorting good from paint paint stock, the scrap metal trailer is loaded for another trip to the scrap metal yard, and a bonfire has removed the chopped down gorse. Good job guys---soon we wont recognise the place.

Half term next week and then we all start flying.
