Air Cadets
Became a cadet in 1964, a Civilian Instructor in 1969 and a VR(T) officer in 1970. Joined the RAF as a pilot in 1971; secondary duty during my first tour was as Air Cadet Liaison Officer.

Retired after 34 years in 2005 and joined the RAF Reserve to work full-time with the Air Cadets for three years. Also 6 years as a volunteer Civilian Gliding Instructor.

The Air Cadets was, and still is in my opinion, the premier youth organisation in the UK manned for the most part by incredibly committed volunteers who sometimes go unappreciated by full-time members of their parent organisation.

Long may the Air Cadet Organisation thrive!
