RADIO SUCCESS FOR 1066

BY CDT SGT SAMUEL JAMES
---------------------------------


Four cadets from 1066 (Hitchin) Sqn have attended a weekend radio course run by Herts & Bucks Wing Radio Flight. Cdts Charlotte Hunt (14), Emiko Kemp (14) and Oliver Martin (15) attended the Basic Radio course along with another twenty five cadets and all passed with flying colours. Sgt Samuel James (17) attended the Under Training (U/T) Instructors Radio course with eight other cadets from the Wing and was learning to lecture the Basic course cadets on subjects such as RSVP, Networks, and Project Tango.

Basic course cadets received well-presented lectures from the U/T cadets covering a wide range of topics over the weekend.

Sgt James said, “The course was admittedly rather intensive, but we had the opportunity to put all the skills we had learnt in the classroom into practice in a night exercise on the Saturday evening. The fact that all Basic cadets on the course passed is an outstanding result and is also credit to the Wing Radio Communications Officer Flt Lt Mott, his team of staff and the U/T cadets”.

Flt Lt Mott took over the Wing Radio Flight in 2007 and plans are already in motion to raise the profile of the Wing Radio Flt by assisting in communications at events such as the Wing Exercise, athletics and Aviation Day.
