Wing Awards Evening 2018

Bristol & Gloucestershire Wing yesterday held its 2nd annual Awards Evening, with our cadets and adult volunteers suitably recognised for the outstanding efforts and contribution made to their units, the Wing and the Royal Air Force Air Cadets as a whole.

To a packed audience of VIPs, recipients and their families, Wing Commander Cox, Officer Commanding, gave a brief introduction and offered his thanks and admiration for the steady commitment of all cadets and volunteers.

VIPs, including Air Marshal Sir ‘Dusty’ Miller KBE, and Manny Masih, Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, were on hand to present the awards.

Before retiring to the bar the audience had some last words from Air Marshal Miller, an Honorary Squadron President. He gave praise to all volunteers as well as their loved ones, who graciously offer their support enabling them to take part. With the backing of their families, our adult volunteers are able to offer the greatest youth experience the UK has to offer!

It is important to continually recognise the valued contribution made by our cadets and volunteers and we look forward to next year’s event to hear about these great people and how they make a difference.
