Fifty London Cadets celebrated 150 years of the Cadet Force Movement at a special gliding day held at Kenley Airfield on Friday 18th June. The cadets from the Army Cadet Force, Sea Cadet Corps, Air Training Corps and the Combined Cadet Force, some of whom are in the middle of their examinations, took a well-earned break from their revision to take to the skies above South London. For the majority of the cadets this was their first opportunity to go gliding.

Staff from 615VGS joined in a service to remember 'The Few' from the Battle of Britain at the RAF Kenley Memorial at 1300 on 19th September 2010.  They were joined by over 150 Cadets from local units as well as the Royal Air Force Association, and veterans.  RAF Kenley played a key role in the Battle of Britain 70 years ago, as you can see from the 'RAF Kenley' section of this website.
