Elworthy Trophy training session

The Elworthy Trophy is an annual Tri-Service (Sea, Army, Air) cadet competition organised and conducted within London District. On the day of the competition later this year, the teams – consisting of eight cadets from London-based cadet units – chosen to represent each service, take part in a round robin of competitive activities in the grounds of the Cadet Training centre at Frimley Park, Camberley.

Court Assistant, Liveryman Anne Courtney, who is the Liaison Officer between the Farmers Company and our affiliate the Middlesex Wing of the Air Cadets, attended a training session for the air cadets at RAF Northolt on Saturday 10 March 2023. After a briefing from Wing Commander Niall Cumming, Flt Lt Chris Pocock walked Anne around the various activities being taught.

Anne reported: “It was a pleasure to attend the training Elworthy Day at RAF Northolt and see our affiliation with the Middlesex Wing making a real difference to the lives of the Air Cadets in the North London area.  The competitions I observed included first aid, rifle shooting, and leadership skills, together with minibus pulling. The cadets were having a great time and so were the officers!”
