I have just returned from a lovely week on summer camp at RAF Henlow. This is the third camps we’ve run there, mostly because it has a dedicated cadet block and we know our way around. We did plenty but we couldn’t do the usual Saturday through to Saturday as the block was booked by Beds and Cambs Wing [the gits], so we did Monday through to Sunday.
The week was your usual busy with the following taking place:
- Indoor sky diving
- Visit to the Army Air Corps at Wattisham
- DCCT Rifle Training
- Imperial War Museum Duxford
- Military Intelligence Museum at Chicksands
- Weapons training
- Weapons drill
- Falconry
- Meal out at The Airman
- American Military Cemetary
- Nuclear High Ropes and Zipwire
I had a great time. It was lovely to see Theresa again along with spending time away with the staff from our section. I spent the week driving around a Mercedes Sprinter Minibus which had light steering and very soft brakes. I almost went through the window when I got back in my own car!
