Major General Martin Rutledge OBE,
appointed in January as the General Officer Commanding 5
Division of the British Army, visited Cambridgeshire ACF on
Saturday 21st February 2009. He met adult instructors and
cadets of No.2 Company and watched as they trained towards
their 2 and 3 star APC awards. Highlight of the day was the
first use of new CZ 200 .177 calibre air rifles on the
purpose built (temporary) range in the grounds of Waterbeach
HQ. The new rifles, funded by East Anglia RFCA, can fire 7
types of pellets and will be a great introduction to target
shooting. Our very own RSMI Peter Lyddiatt took the first
shots and proclaimed the rifle "An excellent bit of kit
which is light and easy to use".
