Congratulations to the aircraft technician apprentices who graduated from No.1 School of Technical Training at RAF Cosford. We wish them all every success in their first tours at RAF Coningsby, RAF Lossiemouth, RAF Marham, RAF Odiham and RAF Waddington.
Beware of jet efflux! WAD Ops team want to keep you safe whilst you take your photos. So please stand well away from the red & white fencing. Jet efflux is very strong and can cause serious injuries if not careful.
Stay safe and look after everyone!
