I am on the far left of the photo. The photo was taken in April, about 1967. Contrary to the photo caption, I won the top prize for my Spitfire model (bottom left in photo). The prize was a plastic model kit of Voss' Fokker Tri-plane.

I enjoyed my time there and recall the target shooting with Lee Enfield C No. 7 .22" rifles and air recognition training which I did well at. They would not let cadets who wore glasses take flying training. Pity.

I cannot recall which school our cadet meetings were held, but the back of the clipping refers to air cadets meeting at Prince Arthur School. I do remember that Bob Ring talked me into joining the squadron. Thank you Bob! I'm now working with air cadets as an officer.
