In addition to this, she is training to be a Community First Responder, a volunteer who is trained to respond to medical emergencies in her local area, often arriving on the scene before an ambulance, to provide initial life-saving care.

During her time in the Air Cadets, Anna has taken part in many activities including leadership, shooting, flying and gliding. Her favourite activity by far is First Aid as she is now able to teach a basic level to new cadets. Her biggest achievement was meeting HRH Princess of Wales at RIAT 2023!

Harry, although being the most handsome and funniest team member, is actually only 19 years of age. Fun Fact: Harry will turn 20 in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!

Harry has taken part in a plethora of activities in the Air Cadets and gained many qualifications such as Gold DofE, leadership, outdoor adventure training and so much more. His most notable achievement is completing the Air Cadet Pilot Scholarship where he flew an RAF aircraft solo!

Harry is off for university in September to study Economics with International Finance and Banking. After he graduates he dreams of becoming a fast-jet pilot in the RAF.

In his spare time, Harry is a Coastguard Rescue Officer for HMCG and works frequently with Rowan in the RNLI.
