📚 Educational Visit 📚

Last week, the Squadron, alongside Cadets and Staff from 473 Hartlepool Squadron RAFAC, visited Hartlepool College of Further Education to gain an insight into their Aerospace offering, as well as gaining hands-on experience with their equipment and resident aircraft!

With many of our current cadets studying aerospace, with some of our younger cadets wanting to study aerospace, the visit provided valuable insight into what topics they would study, and also, where studying at the college could lead to career wise!

🌾 Blue Fieldcraft 🌲

Yesterday had seen our very own Cadet Henderson travel to 1869 Middlesbrough Squadron RAFAC to partake in a Blue Fieldcraft Course in which she passed!

The course covers the fundamentals of how to operate in the field as per the RAFAC Fieldcraft Syllabus e.g. how to correctly erect a shelter etc.

Blue Fieldcraft is a stepping stone to more senior Fieldcraft courses / qualifications within the Organisation, ones in which we hope to see Miss Henderson undertaking in the near future!

Well done!
