The Dan Smith Aerobatic Trophy takes place at LGC on Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th April. The organisers have asked for Cadet help over the weekend to help launch and retrieve the gliders involved in the competition.
If you are able to then please pop along to the airfield. It should be a good weekend and you will be able to see for yourselves what a K21 is really capable of!
Tom Walker will be the ‘lead’ cadet over the weekend, so if you meet up with him he will be able to direct you to what needs doing.
Welcome to the new cadets who each an introductory flight around the skies of Dunstable and are now ready to enjoy continuing their training. Enjoy your gliding for the coming year!
All the other pics of the older cadets can be seen on the ‘Images’ pages on the cadet website.
