Written by YGTV Team on 15 October 2018.

Last Thursday, 11th October, No 2 Overseas Gibraltar Squadron Air Cadets had their Annual Formal Inspection by the Officer Commanding and Deputy Officer Commanding of Norfolk and Suffolk Wing, Wing Commander David Miller and Squadron Leader Kevin Green.

RAF Gibraltar’s Station Commander, Wing Commander John Kane, oversaw the proceedings.

A spokesperson said: "The parade in RAF Gibraltar’s Western Hanger showcased the cadets’ discipline and commitment to the Air Training Corps, an organisation that aims to develop and engage with 12 to 20 year olds in the ethos, values and opportunities of the Royal Air Force.  

"The awarding of a cadet promotion at the parade, in conjunction with the scheduled awarding of educational certificates at a dinner on Saturday, indicates that Gibraltar has a thriving Air Cadet squadron; providing an exciting opportunity for existing and prospective cadets.

"Wing Commander Kane thanked the cadets, parents and staff of No 2 Overseas Gibraltar Squadron for the cadets’ fantastic support throughout this year’s RAF 100 events, the Battle of Britain Sunset Ceremonies and their planned support for the forthcoming Remembrance Sunday parade."
