Ten cadets from 2450(Dudhope) sqn spent Sunday at 12AEF at RAF Leuchars. Here the cadets were given the opportunity to go flying. For some this was their first experience of powered flying in the ATC, where as for others it was their second or third flight. All thoroughly enjoyed themselves and not only got to take control of the plane but also got the chance to try some aerobatics.
Sgt Allan, Cpls Strachan, Neill, Moodie, Brown and Cdts Sharma, Hamilton, Donaldson, Scott and Luke allattended the AEF.

Congratulations to the 13 cadets who completed their Bronze qualifying expedition last weekend. Two groups from Dudhope and a group from Leuchars Sqn took part in the venture which took place in Fetteresso Forest (near Stonehaven). The cadets discovered that navigation is not always straightforward, with all groups taking wrong turns at some point and adding extra distance to their routes.
Cadets now have until the end of October to produce a written report covering the purpose of their expedition.
Well done to the following cadets (Group 1): Cpl David Rennie, Cdts William Cuthill, Kyrin Ross, Kris Hall, Alistair Nicholson, Shaun Black, Adam Hindmarch and (Group 2): Cdts Michael Niven, Derick Grant, Nicole Sweenie, Amy Jardine, Iona Young and Alison Birtles.

Last Saturday two Dudhope cadets, Cpl Neill and Cdt Petrie went shooting with the new L98 A2 rifle at Barry Buddon. This was only the second time they had the chance to fire the new version of the weapon. Both did extremely well achieving the highest shooting badge available which is Corps Marksman.

 Last weekend, 8 cadets completed their DofE Silver Qualifying Expedition in what could only be described as 'extreme' weather conditions. In fact, due to the dangerously high water levels in many streams, their original route that took them from Braemar via the Lairig Ghru and Glen Tilt to Blair Atholl, had to be modified on their 2nd day for obvious safety reasons. Despite the additional challenges, all cadets successfully completed the expedition in good time and good spirits. Congratulations go to Cpls Adam Brown, Gregor Moodie, Nick Neil, Paul Scott, Kirsten Whyte, Heather Young and Cdts Greg Herron and Sam Sharma.
