226 getting noticed in high places!

Last Week, Cadets of 226 (Brighton) Squadron were busy preparing their uniform in the wake of two special squadron visits. The first being an inspection from Sussex Wing’s Warrant Officer, WO Cordell. Warrant Officer Cordell spoke to the Cadets individually, and was pleasantly amused with their stance on the Squadron and was impressed with their standards of dress and discipline.

The visit was preceded with another Squadron inspection by Regional Commandant, Group Captain L Haikin. The Group Captain, who heads over 150 Squadrons in London and South East Regions was very impressed with the running of the Unit, and the interesting training programme on offer. He took time to answer questions with the Cadets, as well as asking the Cadets themselves on their experiences with the Corps as well as their future ambitions. Group Captain Haikin was pleased to learn how the Squadron had grown rapidly over the past 18 months due to the hard efforts of the recruit intakes. Well done to all those involved with the visits, another thumbs up for 226!
