Wing Overnight Ex 2007

A team of 6 cadets led my Sgt Sowden have made 248 (Letchworth) Sqn proud at this years Overnight Ex.

For the first time in 4 years the 248 team have managed to complete the annual Wing Overnight Exercise.

The event is a 30km navigation exercise which takes place in the Halton area. Starting at 8pm and with 12 hours to complete it and numerous checkpoints to visit 248 Sqn made an impressive start.

Only missing 1 of the checkpoints and completing the course in just over 8 and a half hours the team came in 13th out of 40 competing teams.

The team should be congratulated on what was an excellent result, they should feel very proud of themselves and should be an inspiration to next years team to better what has been an excellent performance.

Well done to all of you.
