AerBabe, are you saying you all go in for free nothwithstanding the circular that said cadets would pay £10?
Also, as the cadets were clearly targeted, I wonder how many ATC cadets there are within striking distance of Abingdon? Certainly Lincolnshire was too far.
AFAIK, my ATC squadron didn't get a circular offering cut price tickets for cadets. However, that may have been due to lack of communication between staff! The only correspondence I saw was asking from Wing, asking for volunteers to help man stands.
As for how many cadets are within striking distance... Tricky one to answer. Given that most squadrons will travel for an hour(ish) and Abingdon is fairly central... 5-10,000?
