 423sqn(Elgin) are the Champs   Squadron Leader Carr and Squadron Leader McAdams visited 423Sqn(Elgin) on the 19th of April. This was to choose who would represent Scotland and Northern Ireland in the UK wide Lees Trophy. 423Sqn having won the Hinshelwood Trophy for Highland Wing nine times since 1975 and again this year, were now under the spotlight. During the night, S/L Carr visited many activities in which the cadets participate, escorted by Flight Sergeant Keenan, Corporal Saddler and Corporal Cooper. These included the music group, made up of Cpl Ireland, Cpl Harris, Cadet Edgar, Cdt Boyle and Cdt Lillyman: the flight sim team which consisted of Cdt Halpin, Cdt Rossiter, and Cdt Loving who took the Squadron Leader on an exciting virtual flight around Kinloss. In Fieldcraft, Cpl Ridehalge, Cpl Campbell, Cpl Cooper and F/S Keenan set up a demonstration to show S/L Carr the skills they have learnt. Then he visited the modelling group., Cdt Huby and Cdt McKenzie showed him the models that F/S Hodgson and Numerous other cadets have produced over the last six months.

He then went on to the Round the pole flying team who showed him how they made the models and how they function. Finally he went to see the Robot chariots, Sgt Denness and Sgt Smith explained to S/L Carr why and what the chariots are.
We found out on the 20th that we had won the trophy for Region and S/L Carr was very pleased with us due to our efforts and committments. 423Sqn are now in the final six for the UK crown.
