Finally received some photographs from Ryan in the USA . Ryan , had to stand down as our CO and leave his full time day , to fulfill his dream of becoming a Commercial airline pilot. The first part of his training was all ground school in the UK . Now part 2 is in Arizona for his basic pilot training . As he is still an officer on our squadron , he has promised to talk to our cadets on his progress as soon as he returns ready for stage 3 . As ever we wish him the best of luck for his inevitable success. “Adapt, Improvise, Overcome “👍👍

This week one of our members of staff organised for 611 to give a history talk to students at Dixons Broadgreen Academy were he is a teacher. We brought along a selection of genuine WW1 and WW2 items from various nations . The students are part of the school history club , and is the first time they had ever had the chance to see and handle kit from the 20th century conflicts in Europe . Plus we did a bit of recruiting for the ATC squadrons that are local to the school

Last night 611 Sqn visited Fulwood barracks and the Lancashire Infantry Museum. We were given a tour, a chance to get hands on with some the exhibits and learnt about the history of our local British Army infantry regiments.
A huge thank you to Col. Glover for his time and expertise.
