We recently had a visit to a Swanage Railway signal box, where we enjoyed the opportunity to have a good look around and learn about how the heritage railway line works.

One of our favourite activities is flying, which some of our cadets had the opportunity to do this month.

Thanks to the cadets, staff, and friends of the squadron for another fantastic Remembrance Parade in Swanage today. The 'cheerful' faces photo is the result of learning there's an enormous hill to climb before the much-looked-forward-to bunfight up at the Royal British Legion. It's always a privilege to be able to pay our respects to those who gave their tomorrows for our todays.

We will remember them.

Very well deserved. Congratulations all!
