After watchin presentations by the other services Her Majesty took the time to speak to those involved about their work.

Flight Lieutenant Will Scott, Officer Commanding 184 Squadron felt that the opportunity to perform at the event was one that couldn’t be missed. He said: “We were extremely proud of the presentation given by our cadets and the manner in which it was delivered. This was an opportunity that doesn’t even occur once in a lifetime for many people.”

The presentation given by the cadets involved seemed to be warmly received by both Her Majesty and the watching audience. Squadron Leader Ian Revell, Wing Staff Officer said: “The cadets were simply awesome and a real credit to their Wing and the Air Cadet Organization as a whole. Her Majesty seemed to enjoy the demonstration and I’m sure it’s a day that the cadets will remember for a long time.”
