Last weekend was the second gathering of Sussex Wing in September, this time for the Wing Field Weekend. A weekend of competitions such as adventure training, aircraft recognition, aircraft modelling, first aid and of course drill, along with other activities such as the assault course, abseiling and RAF careers.

1343 achieved an above average position in all but two of the activities we entered, the highlights of which being 4th in the shooting competition and 5th in the drill competition. We missed 3rd place in the shooting competition by a single point!

Given our relatively junior team we performed admirably, and with a year to practise in we should be able to win both the shooting and the drill next year.

Well done to all the cadets that took part, along with extra credit for staying behind after the final parade to tidy the cinema.
