All our cadets and staff had a great time at Machrihanish. Haven't managed to get all the details from the cadets yet, but the staff are on a high! All I've heard about since Paul got back is "when we were at camp" and "then this happened" - definite "band camp" feel (you'll know what I'm talking about if you've ever watched American Pie).
The cadets doing Radio Controlled Flying managed to crash 4 planes the first week, and 3 the second week but they did manage to build some planes too so I guess that makes up for it. The cadets doing fieldcraft had a great night exercise, which didn't finish until 6am - how cool! The shooting module cadets passed Weapons Handling Tests for both the No. 8 and the L98 rifles and managed some pretty good scores in the live firing.
Other modules available included First Aid, Duke Of Edinburgh Expedition, Police Flight and Leadership. Stole this leadership video from YouTube which shows what they were up to during Week 1.
All cadets took part in Air Experience Flying in the Grob Tutor and some got flights in a Lynx helicopter. Cpl Gray took his bagpipes with him and was lucky enough to be asked to pipe the RAF Scotland Commendant onto the camp.
