Interests: Gliding WITH an engine, Shooting, Drill  (someone has to!)
I joined 1084 in 2003 and have been there almost every Monday and Wednesday since!  Done some incredible things that I never would have thought possible otherwise, highlights being learning to fly and being flown around the North Sea in a Nimrod.  This year, I hope to go to annual camp, RIAT and Edale, hopefully adding more highlights to the list!
The achievements I am most proud of in my time are being presented with my Silver Wings, being a part of the massively successful Red Flight in 2006 and, together with my brother, taking home Best Cadet and Runner Up Best Cadet in 2006.

Sgt Matt Glover
Interests and Hobbies: Flight simulation, shooting, Flying, Gliding, Tennis and Hockey.
About Me: I joined cadets in September 2004, since then I have been flying in the Grob Tutor about 9 times, my favourite thing to do when flying is a loop because it is so easy. My favourite aircraft is the Eurofighter Typhoon as it is the best aircraft In the RAF and a beauty to look at. I have achieved my silver gliding wings for gliding solo and hope to be able to do a flying scholarship soon. I have been shooting at RAF Wittering 11 times and have shot the L98A1. I have got my squadron Marksman on the No.8 rifle. I enjoy playing tennis  at my local club, I play on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.  Next year I am moving to Australia for a while but on my return I hope to join the RAF Regiment as an officer. I would recommend the ATC to anyone because it is such a great organisation to be in. The ATC teaches skills that we will all be able to use in our later lives.
