FANTASTIC!
Cadets at @1953_Squadron are busy 3D printing parts for the Wing Aviation Centre! STEM is an important part of being an Air Cadet, so learning to design, solve problems and produce solutions is #whatwedo as #aircadets

@aircadets sponsored their first 5 Arkwright engineering scholarships today - a plan to grow this number year on year. Some pretty inspiring ambitions. These young people are role models in engineering. They are ‘difference makers’ @CorpsSTEM @ComdtAC @CCFcadets

11 yrs ago today I was dined out as OC @2187squadron after 9 yrs as the ‘boss’ to move to Wg Staff. We weren’t the biggest or best Sqn, but felt we were, had an amazing spirit & got involved in every activity offered. Great team, great cadets, many happy memories. HAPPY DAYS!

Had a great evening delivering STEM activities using Sphero robots and MTa kits with @2187squadron - my old unit where I was once a cadet and later the OC! Recently did some similar activities with @1483Squadron, fab to be face to face again.
