Thousands of aircraft move safely across the skies every single day thanks to their vigilance and honed skills. On International Day of the Air Traffic Controller (yep, it’s a thing), we hear why the role is worthy of recognition. 🙌

Developing the confidence, leadership skills and resilience of more than 130,000 young people around the UK, in Cadet Week we celebrate everything the movement has to offer, as experienced by Cadet Flight Sergeant Tiffany, RAF Leeming’s Station Commander’s Cadet.

Selected by Group Captain Geordie Lawson to accompany him at various high-profile events throughout the year, FSgt Tiffany’s tenure as Station Commander’s Cadet is the pinnacle of a cadet career in which she now mentors more junior members of 873 (Driffield) Squadron Air Cadets, which she joined in 2021.
Tiffany, 17, found out about Cadets during a school assembly, and has never looked back. https://www.raf.mod.uk/our-organisation/stations/raf-leeming/news/the-skys-the-limit-for-station-commanders-cadet/
