I’m doing a quiz for some cadets (ATC Themed).
I’m thinking of doing 5-10 questions with increasing difficulty. Any suggestions.
Remember needs to be ATC themed at its core, but also get hard enough it may get some senior cadets/staff thinking.
Got the basics like date of the formation of the ATC.
Organisations which amalgamated to form the ATC.
Father of the ATC
RC
Condt AC
OC 22Gp
CAS
CDS
Def Sce
Was thinking that, but maybe too niche? Not really ATC - That’s more of the structure of the RAF etc
First three are direct chain of command for RAFAC, you could ad OC Wg, Sector cdr.
I always find the question " What rank is our Wing Commander?" often gets the wrong answer as cadets sometimes do not associate the rank with the position especially when the sqn commander is not a Sqn Ldr.
I’ve literally heard a cdt NCO use OC Wing’s rank in front of his name and then state they didn’t know his rank.
We cover ranks too early and too briefly. I think they should be revisited as part of a GSK PTS (which could replace the classification topics that belong in the aviation and space PTS).
Name the ww2 pilot ace after whom the cadet computer system is named - wartime rank, Christian name and honours.
So Group Captain Douglas Bader DSO & Bar DFC & Bar
Bonus points for other Christian names and later honours
Also complete doorknob award.
Harsh! Maybe if it happened today but his crash was from a time when such things would have been regarded as unlucky!
Does not detract from his wartime service and since for the disabled!
I would counter that his ‘famous’ crash was because he was flying out of limits and too low, showing off.
Several of my friends had the ‘pleasure’ of dealing with him post war through light blue service and my Grandfather came across him several times during WW2. They all shared the same poor opinion of him.
