On Tuesday 15 th September, Flt Lt Brendan O'Neill, OC 487 Kingstanding and Perry Barr Sqn ATC, recognised the achievements of a group of cadets by handing out well deserved promotions.

The group of cadets who were promoted have over the past few months/years helped 487 Sqn become one of the leading Sqn's in the Warwickshire and Birmingham Wing. The cadets have excelled in all aspects of ATC training, whether it be playing for both the Wing and Region at Rugby and Football, or representing our Region at National ATC finals. FS Rigby will also shortly start the Junior Leaders course after successfully passing the recent assessment weekend.

The list of cadets who were promoted is below:

• Sgt Anthony Rigby to FS
• Cpl Stephen Lycett to Sgt
• Cpl Jack Kirby to Sgt
• Cpl Joe Creamer to Sgt
• Cdt Robert Andrew to Cpl
• Cdt Martin Kemp to Cpl

Flt Lt Brendan O'Neill, OC 487 Sqn, commented “It's with great pleasure that we've promoted this group of cadets and I'm sure that they will personally grow from strength to strength and that they will also help our growing squadron over the coming months and years. We are looking for them all to show leadership to our new cadets and they will be given all the help they need by the squadron staff - well done to them all”.
