Catching up on Squadron activities.

Hi

Its been a while and I just dont know where the time has gone? Before we know it we are already on top of the next Salisbury Plain exercise and plans are going well for the event.

Support to Military Operations around the world have continued at a steady pace, our Gunners have returned from service in Kandahar, whilst the Logistics Flight have continued their support to operations at Camp Bastion. Support to training is ongoing with members of the HQ being deployed to Kenya. Throughout the Grand Prix exercises members of Ops flight have been deployed to support the Joint Helicopter Force (Kenya).

Back at home the first 3 training weekends of the year have gone very well, with all squadron members completing their annual common core skills training, so thats the gas done for 12 months.

The flights have been carrying out a varied list of activities, MT Drivers have just completed convoy training, Ops flight have run a couple of table top planning exercises and the Regiment have been busy training the new intake of Gunners.

Recruiting activities are going really well, our first two open events of the year have seen great response from potential recruits. A cold, foggy, frosty night in January saw a record turn out for the time of the year, so a busy year ahead for the training team I feel.

Anybody interested in attending the next open event on April 15th at RAF Benson should e-mail recruiting@606sqn.com for details.

Thats it for now more to follow soon.
