Group Captain's Visit February 2003

 

    On the 27th February, our squadron had an informal visit from London and South East Region's Commandant, Group Captain Hakin. Apparently, he has not visited the squadron since it changed it's location over 4 years ago.

Even though the visit was informal, it is still very daunting for cadets as officers over the rank of Flt Lt are rarely seen by cadets apart from at important wing or region events.

    When he arrived, Cpl Hicks and I went out to meet him before he spoke to the officer. After he spoke with our C.O., the cadets were able to impress him with their continuity drill display they have been working hard on. Before he went, he chatted with the squad about their career choices and gave everyone good advice if they planned to enter the Armed Forces.
