155 Squadron News

Wing Challenge

155 squadron has just triumphed in the Thames Valley Wing Challenge week-end, by coming first overall in the competition. This event is an adventure training week-end, involving spending the night out at the Bramley Training area. The first day saw the 155 Sqn team take an early lead in the overall points, but Sunday was not as convincing, with a drop in performance and scoring. However things improved again, before the end of the event, and finished with Maidenhead Squadron winning the challenge trophy, which was presented by the Wing Commander. Well done to all those cadets from the unit who took part.
