| Berwick Boys Squadron at the 2007 Victoria Group Review |
BERWICK BOYS SQUADRON SOAR TO GREAT HEIGHTS
Officers and cadets of the Berwick Boys Squadron of the Australian Air League excelled at the Australian Air Leagues Victoria Group Review at Ashwood College Oval last weekend.
Despite the competition being very fierce from the other squadrons within the state the Berwick Boys came home with most of the trophies in drill (marching).
The Boys won section drill, flight drill, and a number of other drill trophies in the final parade competitions on the march; they also won the physical activities trophy, plus many individual trophies for model making in both plastic and balsa.
This was a fantastic effort by the Squadron; this in turn saw them earn the physical activities field points and the grand aggregate over all.
This has come about by a lot of hard work by the Officers and Cadets of the Squadron leading up to the review, with extra practices on weekends to sharpen up their skills.
And for the past three years the Squadron can boast of having a Cadet in the Squadron who has taken out the Australian Air leagues Victoria groups Cadet of the year, this year it was awarded to Corporal Aaron Daniels from Narre Warren. The 15-year- old said that the win has put him closer to his dream of one day of joining the air force and flying an FA18 Fighter.
Officer Commanding Russell Owen said he was extremely proud of the Cadets performance during the year and congratulated the Officers and the Cadets on a successful 2007.
If you are a Boy or Girl aged between 8and 18years and have an interest in aircraft or flight or perhaps you just want something fun to do in your spare time.
