Wing Field Weekend
The Wing Field Weekend was a huge success for 759 Beccles Squadron. The team captain for 2014 was Cadet Sergeant Tom Willis who made sure that the team worked as well as possible throughout the whole weekend and that they maintained the same level of commitment. Cadet Sergeant Tom Willis said 'The team worked extremely well together in the many different exercises and competed to the best of their abilities. The weekend started with a roaring success in the river crossing exercise where we completed our sections race in the fastest time however we ended up coming fourth overall it was still a good effort from all the team.
Later that day the team completed the orienteering exercise with plenty of time to spare, however two of our team did get slightly lost. A search party was sent out after a few hours of them being reported missing. This meant that we were penalised at the Aircraft Recognition for missing some of the team. They were found safe and sound close to the A11. It is now a joke that they were trying to find civilization. Cadet Corporal Dennington and Cadet Walding were commended for their initiative; they knew cars meant people and people meant help!!
The rest of the weekend was trouble free and we finished 9th overall even with the penalties from orienteering and Aircraft Recognition.
