Snow Eagle 2011: The Plough

A cadet demonstrating the basics, its hard life but we are trying to enjoy it !!!

Overview and Purpose

On the 25th of March 2011, I was given leave from my day job (Tutor Uniformed and Public Services (UPS) – Chesterfield College) to fulfil my role as a Flt Lt - RAF VR(T) Air Training Corp (ATC) I left home in the early hours taking with me enough kit to last 10 days.

The reason for my departure is that I am escorting 20 + cadets who are experiencing a RAF winter skills course which is held in Austria. Two of the cadets are from my squadron (140 Matlock) both have also gained a places on the Chesterfield College UPS course.

The college course is a natural progression route for many cadets who upon leaving school are seeking UPS employment and or progression to University.

“If you’ve got what it takes - get in touch”

There are links on this site to both the UPS and the ATC ? We will be meeting at RAF Northolt (London) we will be travel by coach to our destination, the journey is expected to take 19 hours.

I will hopefully be posting news and pictures of our experiences on a daily basis, hope you will find them interesting.

Best Wishes

Sarah

Ps, Myself and staff from Chesterfield UPS will be attending the Trent Wing Field Day @ RAF Digby
