My interest in aviation started with the ATC in Plymouth, flying at AEF Exeter airport as well as Filton. Also during my time gliding at Chivenor and Predannack. The Staff ensuring that the cadets got as much from the experience as possible.
After joining the RAF i put some time back in to the ATC by assiting 2 squardons and also becoming Dep ACLO at one station.
The enthusiasm from cadets in recent years was no different to that of the days when i and countless others were given the opportunity to fly.
Lets hope this continues a long tradition of cadets being flown and that this incident does not put off parents allowing their offspring to sample the delights of aviation.
Heartfelt condolences to all those concerned..
