Over the weekend, two teams represented the squadron at the Essex Wing Falklands Memorial Trophy Competition.
With 32 teams taking part, this was a tough and highly competitive event, and we are extremely proud of both our teams who demonstrated fantastic leadership, teamwork, and camaraderie throughout. One of our teams achieved 1st place in the Navigation and Bearings stance, showcasing excellent map-reading skills under pressure.
The Falklands Memorial Trophy Competition is an annual event for RAF Air Cadets in Essex, designed to test cadets’ physical and mental abilities through a series of challenging activities such as first aid, navigation, shooting, leadership, and teamwork exercises. Held in honour of those who served in the Falklands conflict, the competition promotes resilience, personal development, and esprit de corps among cadets across the Wing.
Well done to all of the cadets involved and a big thank you to the staff who helped prepare for the competition.
