On 29th November, the Oundle School Combined Cadet Force RAF section were victorious at the Air Squadron Trophy Regional Competition held at RAF Cranwell.
Fifteen cadets from all four year groups took part in the event. The competition comprises seven events: Drill, Aircraft Recognition, RAF Knowledge, Shooting, First Aid, Fitness and Command Task. 
The Oundle cadets performed very well, winning the Drill, Aircraft Rec and RAF Knowledge competitions. They came second in the Shooting and fourth in the First Aid. As a result, they were placed first in the region, beating Kimbolton, who have won the Regionals for the last four years and who are current national champions.
Captain of the Oundle team, Sergeant Peter Anson (F) won the award for the highest scoring cadet in Aircraft Recognition.
Preparation for the competition was all completed in the cadets’ own time. They arranged and led the training in an impressive demonstration of personal commitment.
The Oundle cadets are now through to the National Finals in March.
