Whitehaven cadet lives out his Royal Navy dream
BZ to all those who took part in the Spean Bridge Challenge, before the Coronavirus outbreak forced units to isolate. Congratulations to Newton-le-Willows detachment (below) on being the winning team.
A former sea cadet from Cumbria is living out his dream and has joined the Royal Navy, after completing his basic training. Finn, 16, spent nearly two years at Whitehaven Sea Cadets before joining the senior service in November. “Before I joined, I was in Whitehaven Sea Cadets for a year and eight months, so a lot of my knowledge is thanks to all the volunteers at TS Bee,” he said. Finn is now with HMS Sultan for engineering training ahead of specialising as a marine engineer.
