The 19 August visit coincided with the summer camp of Cadets from West Mercian Wing, which included 265 (Chetwynd) Squadron, 124 (Hereford City) Squadron, 233 (Pershore) Squadron and 187 (City of Worcester) Squadron.

Following a review of the camp Cadets and their drill competition, Group Captain Vorderman visited the SNI RAC where she met Squadron Leader Jim Hair RAFVR(T), deputy OC for Highland Wing, and the Wing Warrant Officer (ATC) Glenn Judge, before meeting the Highland Wing HQ permanent staff, Squadron Leader Joe McAlister RAFVR(T) Wing Executive Officer and Mrs Pam Latham-Scott, Office Manager.

She was then provided with a tour of the building before being introduced to Cadets from 423 (Elgin) Squadron by Squadron Leader Max Woolfson, whose Cadets demonstrated the flight simulator equipment and the IT suite.

Group Captain Vorderman then took time to chat to Cadets and staff before engaging in group photos.
