@OCHIOWATC @WWO_HantsIOW @RgComdtSW @ComdtAC

These are the amazing @aircadets volunteers that worked so tirelessly to bring our first aerospace centre to life. A huge effort by the @HantsIOWWing team with the Aerospace Officers from @SWRegionRAFAC and @AirCadets_TVW. @ComdtAC @RgComdtSW @RAFAC_SnrCFAV

We’re pleased to announce the top cadets of 2022…

@ratto_sw @ArmySWcomd @ComdtAC Thank you so much to all the brilliant RAF Air Cadet CFAV and RAF/RN personnel and volunteers who set up and staffed the checkpoints and undertook the scrutinising for #TenTors22 all across Dartmoor. This could not have worked without you all. @aircadets @RAFNews

Scrutineering Team 3 poised on Buttern Hill (sluming it with the RN) ready to sweep back into Oke. Great to bump into teams we met at Two Bridges yesterday evening. Great effort all! @RgComdtSW @ArmySWcomd @ComdtAC

@pcwaircadets @aircadets Well done to the 55-milers anyway. There were not many teams that attempted the longest Ten Tors route and injury or illness can affect any team. It shows huge commitment even taking it on.

Latest update from #tentors our 55 mile team have sadly had to withdraw due to a minor injury, all are safe & well but naturally disappointed not to finish Our 2377 team are about to cross the line, huge congratulations to them. @aircadets #whatwedo #thenextgeneration ^WMCO

Huge congratulations to Team 2377 Squadron on completing their #tentors route, our first team back having visited 10 Tors over a 35 mile route. @aircadets @comdtac #whatwedo #thenextgeneration ^WMCO

Brilliant effort from all Southwest Region RAF Air Cadets on #TenTors22 Huge levels of resilience shown and bags of teamwork in tough conditions. Big thank you to their CFAV too.

So proud of the @41FSquadronATC Ten Tors team who made the call to turn back when one of the team was taken ill and unfortunately missed their cut-off time at the next checkpoint. It was tough on them, but absolutely the right decision, showing great teamwork. Stronger together.

#TenTors2022 looks like it’s going to be a little cooler than yesterday - a relief to all teams, no doubt. Best of luck to all teams and see you at the finish line. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported this amazing event - a real team effort.

At RAF Little Rissington today with 621 and 637 VGS personnel, and @aircadets from Southwest Region. Fantastic weather and a great opportunity for some gliding! All out!!

A good insight into the sheer effort required to support RAF Air Cadets and get them onto the start line for Ten Tors. @BgWing Big thank you to all CFAV from all of the wings who helped get them there. I don’t underestimate the logistic challenges and commitment involved.

Good luck to all the ATC and CCF cadets completing the #tentors challenge today, it looks a stunning morning to be hiking across @dartmoornpa. We’re looking forward to some great photos @pcwaircadets!

..... and they are off, 35, 45 & 55 miles across Dartmoor visiting #tentors on their challenge. #whatwedo #thenextgeneration ^WMCO

Big shout out to @GryphonSchool for their display of Ten Tors from the 1960s - go and see it near Ten Tors reception- and to their team tackling the event wearing and carrying 1960s kit.

Over the past week, our volunteers have delivered 14 virtual training sessions, following which we are delighted to welcome 275 Cadet #MentalHealth Advocates to our team! That's enough to ensure around a quarter of all @aircadets squadrons have their own Advocate! #whatwedo
