Kate is off to a flying start as new patron of the Air Cadets
New Horizons
Its all to get ready for the new generation of Air Cadet Creche's.
No flying to speak of anymore so get them in young and teach them childcare, sewing,cascading,facebook,and supermarket bag filling.
Much easier than messing about with equipment that needs a correct servicing system, and anyone in the system to make a real decision about anything mechanical.

Glad a communion service was not considered at Ely, we had around 1000 cadets on the parade and cathedral service, would still be opening bottles now I suspect.
Whats Cascading
Its an 'in joke' on the AIR CADETS GROUNDED thread.
It is how 'nil information' that contains no useful items is (not) spread around the Air Cadet system nowadays.
It is not really a joke but a testimony to the complete C.....F.... that has kept all Air Cadet Gliders on the ground for nearly two years.
The worst aspect being the contempt that Cmt 2FTS has for the Volunteer VGS staff,and his complete lack of ability and leadership.
Not just my opinion but a fair appraisal of the common thoughts of most VGS staff past and present. Sad but TRUE.
The Air Cadets need to get the AIR bit back as a priority not pussy foot around with fancy websites,facebook,twitter,and endless meetings that go nowhere.
We had the finest basic Cadet hands on airborne training facility in the world and the 'system' KILLED IT. SAD but TRUE.

An understandable mistake. The Great Hall of the Royal Courts of Justice is reminiscent of a cathedral.
The architect, George Edmund Street RA, had an extensive ecclesiastical practice and is renowned for his many churches (here and abroad) in the Gothic Revival style. He was the sole architect for the entire project (covering about six acres) from foundations to spires.
Street died (aged 57) a year before the building was opened in 1882 by Queen Victoria, after eleven years of construction. He is buried in Westminster Abbey – an indication of the esteem in which he was held.
(The photograph appears to have been taken on a 'tourist' day, not a working day.)

My mistake... looked a bit churchy.

It is amazing (at least to me) how many cathedrals and great churches have histories that date back to the mid 19th Century.
It is tempting to assume that these buildings as we see them today 'have always been like that', however, after the Dissolution, many fell into disrepair with sections collapsing.
During the 1830s there seems to have been a resurgence in 'religion' and rich benefactors emerged to finance the reconstruction of many fine buildings as we see them today.
I mention just one as an example - St Albans:- 19th Century.
