Flixton RAFA Day

For a number of years now the squadron has been in attendance at the local Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museums annual Royal Air Force Association day.

This is a day where members of the public get to meet veterans of the RAF and talk about experiences, share stories and pass on knowledge. Cadet Sergeant K Dennington, Cadet Corporal H Roberts and Cadets N and J Sparkes took the opportunity in talking to Squadron Leader Frank Leatherdale, DFC and learning all about his experiences as a Navigator in Lancaster Bomber for the Royal Air Force. The cadets learnt a lot and one of the amazing things with this gentleman was that he was part of the Pathfinders. The Pathfinders were target marking squadrons in the RAF Bomber Command during World War II.
