CONGRATULATIONS on an excellent D-Day parade. You did yourselves and the squadron proud. Well done all. Special thanks to banner bearers, poem readers and wreath layer. Well done! #airtrainingcorps #aircadets #rafac #whatwedo
The Normandy landings were the landing operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during WW2. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day,it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. 75 years ago! Over 10000 casualties and 4,414 men payed the ultimate sacrifice. Remember thoes who have created the life that we now know. Come and stand in memory. Of men who fought and died. They gave their lives in Normandy. Remember them with pride. Soldiers, Airman, sailors. Airborne and marines. Who in civvy life were tailors. and men who worked machines. British and Canadian. And men from USA. Forces from the Commonwealth. They all were there that day To Juno, Sword and Utah. Beaches of renown. Also Gold and Omaha. That’s where the ramps went down. The battle raged in Normandy. Many lives were lost. The war must end in victory. And this must be the cost. When my life is over. And I reach the other side. I’ll meet my friends from Normandy. And shake their hands with pride.
Today we went to inter-squadron Athletics. Our 7 cadets who represented 1861 squadron today all did an awsome job. We got a few medals and at least 1 will be continuing onto the next level to represent Thames valley wing at inter-wing Athletics. Well done all of you, you dis the squadron proud. #1861 #aircadets #thamesvalleywing #airtrainingcorps #rafac #royalairforceaircadets #whatwedo
Last night we took the cadet to @freedog_swindon to let off some steam in this fast approaching exam period.
CONGRATULATIONS to our 3 new Cpls and new Sgt. Well earned all of you. Still maybe more coming! Watch this space! #whatwedo #airtrainingcorps #royalairforceaircadets #aircadets #promotions
