Ramsey 1940's Weekend
Over the weekend of the 22nd to 23rd August 15 Cadets and 5 Instructors attended what is becoming a national event, the Ramsey 1940’s Weekend held at RAF Upwood. The cadet’s main duty over the two days include marshalling the car park but they also had time to experience the sights and sound of 1940’s life. Wartime aircraft including the Spitfire, Mustang and Messerschmitt were put through their paces in magnificent air displays throughout the day. With vehicles from lorries to bicycles, military re-enactors, hundreds of people including visitors dressed in period costume and music of the era it gave a real insight to life of the time. A few of the cadets really got into the ‘swing’ of things when they took part in one of the many dance lessons on offer. On Sunday the cadets proudly marched in the main parade which included a service of remembrance.
