RAF Waddington Airshow

Cadets and Staff enjoyed a visit to the RAF Waddington Airshow on Saturday 2nd July 2011.

The display inlcuded amongst others the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Red Arrows and the American F16 (Fighting Falcon) Thunderbirds team, but the star of the show was an impressive display of raw jet power from the Vulcan.
