So my final camp is now complete. I’ve spent a week at RAF Henlow and it was a great time. I spent the week driving around in the party bus and singing along to all the great tunes we had playing. It was really nice being back with staff who I hadn’t seen for half a year and also meeting new staff from the other CCF unit there.
Here’s a list of the things we got up to during the week:
- Archery, raft building, high ropes.
- Shuttleworth Collection – anti aircraft Bofors training, bus ride, searchlight training, camp photo.
- Leadership tasks.
- Live 5.56mm 25m range at RAF Wittering using L98A2 weapons.
- Martin-Baker factory visit.
- DeHavilland museum visit and Link Trainer experience.
- Harrods Aviation visit.
- Voyager Simulations visit.
- Elstree Aerodrome visit.
- Duxford IWM.
- Awards ceremony.
It was a camp worthy of my last CCF adventure and I look forward to seeing the section continue. The boss and I had loads of ideas and some plans fell through but that is how it goes. Overall I think we did a really good job.
