Air Cadets Gliding at RAF Kenley August 2025

On August 16th, four lucky cadets had the chance to go gliding in the iconic Viking T.Mk 1. The day kicked off with thorough training to ensure the cadets were prepared for any emergency situations.

After completing the health and safety briefing, they made their way to the top of the airfield to begin their exciting adventure. Throughout the day, each cadet had their own memorable moments.

Sgt Loftus described the glider launch as “the most fun and exhilarating thing I’ve ever done,” while Cpl Newitt shared that “taking control of the glider was incredibly enjoyable.”
