Quote from ICWO Flower
(pictured right),
“ It was a fantastic experience to fly over
Buckingham Palace when the Queen was celebrating
her birthday and to watch the tornadoes joining
us as we approached London.
I
met quite a few Cadets I had been on overseas
camps with and
it was good to see them again and share this
once in a lifetime experience” |
