Squadron Leader Richards said “congratulations to all recipients on their awards, it is pleasing to see such a variety of awards going to so many members of the Squadron. You are all a credit to the Squadron and South & East Midlands Wing – all of these awards have involved lots of hard work and are certainly well deserved – well done!”

A big thank you to all the staff and cadets of the Squadron, well done everyone!
