Nov 08 - Wing Cross Country
|
|
Six
cadets from 1075 braved the wind and rain to take part
in the Surrey Wing Cross Country championship at Kenley.
The course followed the perimeter of the famous
Battle of Britain airfield with a foray into the more
traditional cross country environment of the muddy woods
of Kenley Common. Unfortunately no medals were
won, but the team effort meant that the Squadron came
away with the Junior Boys Trophy.
