If they are given for those taking part, he should, but we all know that our high priced help would not sanction a cadet getting something that they didn’t.

You think they’ll get a say?

I also reckon there’s far too many people here that wouldn’t stand for it if that was the case, and push for it anyway.

One phonecall to that reporter who has it in for the RAF and it would be sorted

What medal?

Very very very good thing I didn’t need to go into work today… Especially seeing as this idiot is the only tower on my squadron on call this weekend.

Bloody heck.

That’s a hell of a loop as well.

From the photos it looks like the entire contingent has marched down Charlie dispersal all the way to the end of the 27 threshold, down the entire runway, exiting at the 09 threshold, past echo dispersal and all the way down length of the disused back to Charlie.

That’s a walk. :rofl:

This is the rough view that’s be photographed there.

And for a bit of scale, that’s just army pers by the look of the uniform, so no navy or RAF there. So there’s even more bods out of view…

Good to see there will be representatives.

I’m glad this cadet seems excited. Inspiring stuff.

I like the fact it says that there will be banners from all “6 cadet forces”

Is it me or do the numbers just keep increasing.

I have no idea… Does seem to be more and more.

Air Training Corps
Army Cadet Force
Sea Cadet Corps
Combined Cadet Force
Volunteer Cadet Corps
Girls Venture Corps

Depending on how you break down the CCF and VCC, there’s potentially up to 11 uniformed cadet orgs.

GVC isn’t listed (but Royal marine cadets are which I thought were part of SCC hence my confusion. )

The CCF is a corps in its own right, not sure how you get 11 though…
