RAF Cadets Fly Grob Tutors at RAF Wittering

Last week, more of our RAF cadets set off for RAF Wittering, ahead of flying Grob Tutors independently, under the close supervision of their assigned RAF Pilot of course!

Year 12’s Angus shares details of his own experience below:

Year 12’s Angus

As an individual and as a group, the experience of flying at RAF Wittering was truly remarkable.

Myself, Year 12’s Felix, Year 10’s Jack, and Year 9’s Sophia, Ella B, Oscar, Milo and Eva, were all able to experience flying in the Grob Tutor, a small, light, propellered aircraft used by the RAF for training purposes.

Luckily, we had clear blue skies, allowing for an immersive experience, including high gravitational turns, coupled with aerobatics. These included loop-the-loops, barrel rolls and stall-turns. What’s more, we were able to pilot the aircraft ourselves under the close supervision of our assigned RAF pilot.

Every one of us came back with a grin from ear to ear! We all had a wonderful trip had a fabulous days flying.

A huge thank you to the voluntary pilots at RAF Wittering; it was an experience I would recommend to any future cadets.
