Air Cadets.

Hi.
I was an Adult Warrant Officer from 1965 to 1992. I was with the Lincolnshire Wing at 2292 (Market Rasen) Squadron. They even gave me The Cadet Forces Long Service Medal and bar. Sadly it was stolen along with my GSM (Malaya) medal and my company presentation gold watch while I was living in Wold View at Rothwell in Lincolnshire. I am still into Aviation, I work one day a week at the Dumfries and Galloway Aviation museum. As an aside, I help my wife, breeding miniature poodles.

Hey scoots.

I was a sergeant in the AIRTC in 19 and 17 Flights in Brisbane. B129573 still remember my number! Did lots of bivs and made it to advanced. Loved it then finished school and went all bad for a bit. Annoyed that army cadets got to shoot guns but went for flight in Chinook and Black Hawk.

buk buk bagerk......Chook

The Roulettes are fantastic. Seen em twice this year at the RAAF Air Pageant at Point Cook and at the Formula 1s in Melbourne.

I was in the 1855 Royton Sqd Air Cadets in the late 60s, out side we had a gate guardian, a Spitfire that we use to climb into, it was wired upto a link trainer, and when you moved the stick, the crab would move across the map, it was a full original spitfire, and they took it away for filming the "Battle of Britain" Film, they appeased us by replacing it with a Meteor NF15, the Meteor is still there to this day, they also have a Provost and a Venom now, I remember we were the only Air Cadets in teh UK to have our own Motorbike Display Team, I never managed to get on that, but I was lead trumpeter with the Squadron Band, I tried the Sea Cadets, but didnt like it, I tried the Army Cadets, and ended up in the Cadets parent Regiment, 1st Royal Tank Regiment, later I joind the Parachute Reg, now at the age of 54 its all a distant memory.
Regards
tankie
