MEMBERS of 2443 Squadron Air Training Corps recently took part in the Caiels Trophy at the Okehampton Camp.

The Caiels Trophy, named after a former Wing Commander, is an annual event open to all Air Training Corps Squadrons within the Plymouth and Cornwall Wing which includes 2443 (Okehampton) Squadron.

The competition consisted of numerous activities such as aircraft recognition, drill, banner drill, leadership, first aid, micro navigation, map exercise, field craft, production of a flying model and shooting.

The 2443 Squadron managed tenth position last year and through hard work, perseverance and a concerted team effort the team managed to move up the rankings to fifth position — out of a total field of 23 squadrons.
