Cadet Corporal Jarratt, a pupil at Boston Grammar School, qualified as one of the top 500 cadets to attend the event, which is held at Bisley every year. Cadets from Canada and Australia were also present.

Cadets can take part in flying, gliding, shooting, field craft exercises, camps, the Duke Of Edinburgh award, BTEC qualifications and other sporting activities.

The Air Cadets meet on a Tuesday and Thursday evening between 7pm and 9.30pm at the Squadron in Nelson Way.
