On Wednesday the 30 th November, he had the honour to attend St James Palace in London where he received his Gold D of E in the presence of the Duke of Edinburgh.

Newly promoted Staff Cadet CWO Brown remarked, ‘I have enjoyed every minute of being an Air Cadet but this year has been the highlight so far, being appointed Lord Lieutenant's Cadet and now being promoted to the highest rank any Cadet can achieve is very special.'

Flight Lieutenant Moreton commented after the parade, ‘CWO Brown is a valuable asset to the Staff at 2028 Squadron, he is a smart, efficient and well respected young man. He is liked by all who come into contact with him, Cadets and Staff alike. This promotion is the pinnacle of his service at 2028, we are all very proud of his success.'
