    Combined Cadet Force Royal Air Force A Commissioning Aide Memoire for the Officer Cadre Version 1 “Where else could you learn to fly aerobatics, visit Royal Air Force Stations, tour foreign countries, play sports from local to international level, learn the skills to lead expeditions, become a target shooting marksman, gain your Duke of Edinburgh Awards, canoe through white water, assist your community, join a band, learn aviation subjects, go caving, parachute, climb, sail, ski...? These and much more are readily available to you as a member of the Air Cadet Organization.” Air Commodore Jon Chitty OBE. Introduction The school cadet organisation originates from 1859, when schools at Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Rossall, Felsted, Hurstpierpoint, Winchester and Tonbridge formed armed uniformed units as part of a national reserve to counter a perceived threat from abroad. By 1900, cadet units were established in over 100 schools across the country and in 1908, these units were re-titled the Officer Training Corps (OTC). In 1948, the OTC was renamed the Combined Cadet Force. The aim of the Combined Cadet Force is to provide a framework through which young people develop the qualities of team work, self-reliance, resourcefulness, leadership and responsibility. A weekly programme of military training is designed to give young people at King’s a chance to exercise responsibility and leadership, to provide them with knowledge of our defence forces, and to encourage those who might be interested in becoming officers of the Armed Services. Uniform members of the Combined Cadet Force will regularly stay on Royal Air Forces bases, therefore it is important that cadets are able to demonstrate an awareness of the structure and organisation of the Royal Air Force, its role in the defence of the United Kingdom and her interests and the operations in which the Royal Air Force are currently engaged.

  • Vale AVM Jim Flemming
    VALE AIR VICE MARSHALL JAMES HILARY FLEMMING AO AM (RETD) (RCDS, PSC, QFI, FCI) 4 DEC 1926 - 11 FEB 2015 It is with great sadness that I inform you that after a long fight with cancer, one of the great Air Force stalwarts, AVM Jim Flemming AO, AM, has died. Jim was always passionate about serving in the RAAF. During World War Two he twice enlisted while underage. The first attempt, using an assumed name, lasted six months before he was discovered. The second attempt, under his own name was more successful, it led to a career that started as an Aircraftman-trainee and finished as an Air Vice Marshal 39 years later. In the intervening period Jim served as an air traffic controller in Darwin and New Guinea, before converting to Mustang fighters and serving with 77 Squadron in Japan. It was while he was in Japan as a WOFF pilot that the Korean War broke out and Jim joined fellow No 77 SQN aircrew on the first day of operations in the Korean War. Eventually flying over 100 sorties during that conflict, Jim established himself as a highly proficient pilot. He is credited with destroying the first T-34 tank of the Korean War and was awarded the US DFC for his part in the destruction of the strategically important Kum River Bridge. He was also awarded the US Air Medal, was Mentioned in Dispatches and commissioned as a Flying Officer in November 1950. In 1955 Jim completed the RAAF’s first ever Fighter Combat Instructors’ Course, which he duxed convincingly.
