Nicosia, RAF Akrotiri and Kyrenia. We got the chance to
go rock climbing and kayaking, we went walking and got
chance to go swimming too including spending a fabulous
day at water world in Ayia Napa. We went to St Hilarion castle which was massive and very interesting. We
also spent an evening on a boat which included live music, bbq food and the chance to jump off the boat into
the sea which was fantastic. We also spent some time
doing team building exercises and familiarization exercise which helped to cement friendships that I will keep
even after returning to the UK; the staff were amazing
and made the entire time brilliant in every way. We
spent time at Turtle Beach of course as the weather was
hot every day. We ate out at lovely restaurants and
This month there have been several promotions. So on behalf of all the cadets I would

Cadet of the Month – July
This month the cadet of the month is slightly different. Long before this newsletter was published it was decided that Cdt. R. Phillips was to
be July’s ‘Cadet of the Month’ for his excellent
commitment and the fantastic work he produces
in the form of the squadrons new website. However just before the newsletter was released his
efforts were rewarded by his promotion to Corporal. So on behalf of the NCO team, well done
and good luck in your new role.
also had time to shop at mini markets and duty free. We
got the chance to see a movie in our down time along
with playing a few sports and swimming. We also enjoyed a visit to the UN including a good look around the
now disused airport. I learnt so much from this visit. My
entire visit to Cyprus was packed full of fantastic and
interesting adventures and I must say that it was one of
the best experiences of my life. We travelled back on
the 28th July after having ten amazing, fun filled days
away. Air Cadets have afforded me so many wonderful
opportunities but I have to say that this is by far the best
yet.
