So the cadets that are on their way to Nijmegen are flying out from Brize on a C17, and are currently the most tracked aircraft on Flightradar24!
Awesome!

That’s hilarious, but awesome.
Who needs continuity drill when you have this!
The music suits it perfectly!
Link broken - what was it?
Link still works, click “Video on Facebook”.

Over 100 cadets flown in a Chinook today at the Air and Space Camp! Not bad going as it looks like it was unexpected!

So that’s why there were so many buses at Syerston when I drove past!
Did see 2 gliders in the air too, but was surprised to see the number of buses.
Just a quick message (if there are any CVC (Previously known as CVQO) graduates here) to say congratulations on your graduation today!

How no one checked the system, spotted that, and stuck him in for an MBE I will never know…

Unironically can you fit a 6th clasp on the medal? Surely you’re running out of ribbon!!
Excellent bit of media here too
Promotion to Air Commodore?
You mean a certificate of meritorious service, right 
?

Promotion to Air Commodore - that would be a demotion - but why no MBE - where is the justice there?
For any other civvie volunteering for over half a century would get an OBE at a minimum I’d imagine…
I wouldn’t be opposed to a knighthood for that level of service to your community but nope, someone who runs fast or plays tennis well gets one.
RAFAC sure knows how to minimise external recognition.

You’re supposed to get every medal remounted with a longer ribbon every time you add a clasp. I assume the CFM uses the same silver / gold rosette system as the VRSM for 4+ clasps. @Horriblelittletechie will know.
