Flt Sgt Thomas Lord left us on Thursday as he starts at Coventry University. We presented him with a photo and card on final parade. Maybe we'll see him at Christmas?
I'm sure you'll join me in wishing him good luck, add your comments to this post

Swimming Proficiency Presentations
Last Monday saw the presentations of the first set of Swimming proficiency certificates ever presented on the squadron. This is an achievement that stays with you, you don't need to resit the course having completed it. We will look at completing intermediate and advanced courses in the future. There is also the possibility of a scuba diving session at Towcester Centre for Leisure that the Training Officer is investigating.
Congratulations to all those that completed, certificates for the second batch are in the post.

Wing Swimming 2009
Our annual trip to St Albans to compete against the rest of the squadrons in the wing saw Cpl Jones and Cadet Ferrie both competing.
Cpl Jones managed a bronze medal in the Junior Male Freestyle, and for consistency Cdt Ferrie achieved a 4th and 5th place in the Junior female breaststroke and freestyle.
With only 2 cadets attending we were never going to be challenging for an overall trophy, but 19th (of 30) is a significant improvement on last year.
For the statisticians above you, an extra 12 points (Cpl Jones earnt 14, Ferrie 13) would have rocketed us up to 10th place.
Speak to those who went, and hopefully hear you don't need to Michael Phelps or Rebecca Adlington to succeed at Wing Swimming.
See you all next year???

Summer Staff Courses
This summer Plt Off Rumsey and Fg Off Tomlinson have both been to RAF College Cranwell to complete ATC Staff courses, the Officers Initial Course (Plt Off Rumsey) and the Officers Seniors Course (OC).
Both courses were a busy mix of classroom lectures, drill practice and uniform inspections (just like you!), leadership practicals, presentation skills practicals and interview training.
We both passed the courses and by networking with 40 members of staff from around the corps have picked up many useful ideas and suggestions.
