AIR CADET HARRY BROOKS WINS FLYING EXCELLENCE TROPHY
Cadet Flight Sergeant Harry Brooks has been awarded the 2011 Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Trophy for Flying Excellence.
Harry, who is a member of 30(F) Squadron, No 1 Welsh Wing ATC, was awarded with the Trophy during last week's Royal Air Force in Concert performance at the Barbican in London, by the Chairman of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, Air Chief Marshal Sir John Cheshire.
The Trophy, which recognises flying excellence, is awarded annually by the Trust to the top performing Air Cadet who, in the opinion of the Air Cadet Organisation has shown both outstanding flying ability and personal qualities. Harry completed the 12 hour flying scholarship course in July this year at Tayside Aviation where he achieved excellent results.
Harry, from Cardiff, is studying Aerospace Engineering at the University of Swansea and is hoping to pursue a career in aviation; primarily he hopes to join the Royal Air Force and train to be a pilot.
"I was really happy when I was selected for the scholarship, but when I heard I had won the trophy on top, it was really special" said Harry.
