Day four of Whitsun Camp saw 863 (Thurston) Squadron heading out for another action-packed day, this time visiting one of the RAF’s key operational stations and gaining a closer look at several specialist roles and facilities.

Day three at Whitsun Camp saw 863 (Thurston) Squadron head outdoors for a full day of fieldcraft training, giving cadets the opportunity to develop practical skills, learn new techniques and gain a greater understanding of operating effectively in an outdoor environment.

Day two at Whitsun Camp shifted gears as 863 (Thurston) Squadron moved into a full day focused on leadership, teamwork and communication. Building on the momentum from arrival day, our NCO team took centre stage, delivering a carefully planned programme of activities designed to challenge cadets whilst developing their ability to lead others and work effectively as part of a team.

The adventure has officially begun for 863 (Thurston) Squadron as cadets set off for the start of this year’s Whitsun Camp, beginning what promises to be an exciting week filled with activities, teamwork and plenty of opportunities to build friendships and memories. Travelling in a rather warm and surprisingly mellow 30°C weather, spirits remained high throughout the journey as cadets settled in for the trip south.
