Commanding Officer of 8f, Flying Officer Amanda Hobbins, was happy to sing CI Killeen's praises. “Obviously we're very sad to see Charlotte leave, she has been an integral part of the staff team here at 8f and we're going to miss her. I am sure that she will be a credit to the RAF and wish her all the best in her new career. We're hoping that she'll come back to visit now and again and tell all the cadets what life in the RAF is like!
Both Flt Lt Sinfield and CI Killeen were presented with cards, gifts and a fabulous cake to say thank you for their time with 8F Squadron. In addition, Squadron Leader Martin Harrison made a speech and presented Flt Lt Sinfield with a certificate from the CVQO thanking her for her hard work on behalf of the scheme.

8f (1 st City of Coventry) Squadron said a sad farewell to two members of staff at Christmas, as Civilian Instructor Charlotte Killeen left the Air Training Corps to join the Royal Air Force and Flight Lieutenant Amanda Sinfield received her official farewell from the Squadron. Charlotte, who was herself a cadet at the Squadron, has more lately been responsible for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award at 8F and is going to be sorely missed, whilst Flt Lt Sinfield, who has been associated with 8F Squadron for twenty-one years now, has transferred to another Squadron in Coventry in order to give them the benefit of their expertise. 
“It is also with great sadness that we bid Flt Lt Sinfield goodbye. She has been involved with this Squadron for so many years now, first as a cadet and eventually as the Commanding Officer, that her departure will leave a big hole in our Squadron. We wanted to thank her for everything that she has done over the years and wish her well in the future, which is why we made this a double farewell tonight.”
