This weekend, we were in London, giving our cadets another packed weekend of history, heritage, remembrance and some fantastic experiences along the way.
We started at the RAF Museum, exploring more than a century of aviation and the RAF’s history, before heading into central London for a tour of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace.
Our cadets then had the honour of laying a wreath at the Bomber Command Memorial, remembering the courage and sacrifice of those who served with Bomber Command during the Second World War.
There was also plenty of fun, with a journey through some of the darker chapters of the capital’s history at the London Dungeon, before exploring nearly 1,000 years of history at the Tower of London.
We finished with one of the highlights of the weekend, spending the night on board HMS Belfast, giving our cadets the unforgettable experience of sleeping aboard one of Britain’s most famous historic warships.
Another brilliant weekend for 1330, packed with experiences and memories our cadets will carry with them for years to come. A huge thank you to our staff team for giving up their weekend to make opportunities like this possible.
