Pancake day was celebrated a day early and in style this year, with 2438 (Bishop Ullathorne) Squadron Air Training Corps getting in on the act.

Shrove Tuesday is traditionally a day of celebration before the reflection of Easter and this year was certainly party time for the cadets who are passionate about pancakes.

The cadets at the squadron turned their hand to cooking pancakes in mess tins and frying pans while participating in inter flight flipping competitions.

The pancake flipping competition was organised by the squadron's cadet NCO team as part of a sequence of initiative exercise. So the cadets could concentrate on other sections of the competition the pancakes were cooked in pairs and flipping times were recorded by the Squadron staff.

The declared winners of the competition were red flight who were presented with their team certificate on final parade.

The Squadrons Commanding Officer Flight Lieutenant Nathan Adams said "Whilst this event is light hearted it is still teaching the Cadets good life skills in cooking. This is just one element of the variety of training we undertake on the Squadron, but as always we try to put the maximum fun into every activity we do, living up to the Corps motto of Venture Adventure.
