Air Commodore R C Maddison OBE The man that started the Air Cadet Musters flying as many cadets in a day as he could, this was carried on to places like Top Cliff etc… he is an ex-cadet and his son is a current cadet. He always says that he would not of joined the RAF is it was not for the Air Cadets - a top man and a genuinely nice chap too. Would get my vote

He flew me once.
I first met up with Jon pushing targets up / down at a local rifle club shoot at Thetford range. As he was ex-RAF, I suggested he join the RAFTRC & shoot at Bisley…
Big mistake!! 
He regularly thrashes most people, & was 49th in the Queen’s Final this year, not half bad for a 75 yr old. 
He is a super-nice guy; shame that the RAFAC hierarchy doesn’t have comparable people!

When does she go.
When is the announcement of new commandant made?
15th July is her last day
New one is apparently a serving regular and won’t be in post until the autumn.

Remaining a serving regular? Or retiring straight into post?
I don’t know
Anarchy in the meantime then? Fab.
Could have some fun secessionist movements.

The successor has been named, drum roll please…
I was just wondering how we would find out…
Slow filter via CoC
Blanket email to all RAFAC Accounts
Social Media
Hidden SharePoint Announcement only the few with alerts configured will be aware off
I know what the correct answer is, but I doubt it will be how we find out.
No june update on sharepoint yet. Normally its released a couple of days before the beginning of the month. I reckon it will announced then
I know how i will find out…this thread!
Although I wouldn’t want the drip feed to appear on Sharepoint, because of these boards I know our next CAC is a male and currently serving regular - more than I have seen from other channels, and certainly anything official
