The menus were certainly varied, and some meals left a lot to the imagination, but their efforts were superb and the meals were... well, we'll let the pictures do the talking. Well done to Plt Off McInerney and CI Boucher for braving the taste tests!!

Would you dare taste these dishes...? 🤔 Last night, our cadets put their IET skills into practice to prepare a 3-course meal. Armed with a budget of £7 each, they were tasked to put together a menu that could be created using a camping stove...

What's been going on at 277 this week? 👉 Squadron Radio exercise 👉 IET training and qualifying Bronze DofE exped w/ @2478OC 👉 Potential NCO Course Well done to all for an awesome week! #Team277 #NoOrdinaryHobby @RFCAforWales @no1welshatc

Last night, cadets and staff took advantage of the breeze and took part in a variety of sports, including touch rugby, rounders, football (with a very large tennis ball 🎾) and a skills course. Well done to all for braving the heat and keeping fit! #Team277 @RFCAforWales

Tonight our cadets took part in some planning exercises, working together in teams to crack these gruelling tasks. It was certainly a hot night, so thanks to CI Watson for saving the day with ice lollies! 🍦 #Team277 #WhatWeDo #NoOrdinaryHobby @RFCAforWales @no1welshatc

Tonight at 277 we had a variety of activities going on. A couple of our cadets had the chance to develop and improve their mountain biking 🚲 skills, whilst others took part in teamwork and leadership tasks using MTa kit, rope, pipes... and water! #Team277 #NoOrdinaryHobby

Last night we said goodbye to our amazing CWO, who is timing out at the age of 20. Thank you for your excellent service CWO Dabski, and best of luck with your future career in the RAF. @RFCAforWales @aircadets @no1welshatc
