RAF flies into Cambridge Regional College

Uniformed Services students were put through their paces when the RAF came to visit – passing a tough inspection with flying colours.

Around 100 students went on parade, standing to attention as Corporal Ian Baker from the RAF Regiment carried out the rigorous inspection, examining their kit and appearance and awarding marks to each of seven different squads.

He said he was very impressed by the students, and the very high standard of the parade.

“This course is a good start for those who want to go on to the Public Services. It gives them an insight into the discipline they will need,” said Corporal Baker, who awarded the most marks to the FDPSY group.

“I was very impressed with the turnout. Uniformity and attention to detail are important and the students did very well. The standard was very high and it was hard to differentiate between the groups.”

After the parade, Corporal Baker delivered a careers presentation to the students about life and careers in the RAF.

Dale Turner, head of Uniformed Public Services at CRC, said it had been an inspirational visit for the students.

“Many of our students will be going on to careers in the Services and this was a great opportunity for them to learn more about life in the RAF, as well as careers,” he said.

“We are very grateful to Corporal Baker for coming along to the college today to support the course. The students put on superb parade and I was very proud of all of them.”
