Malvern College RAF Summer Camp Towards the end of the Summer term, RAF cadets in the Remove attended a week-long camp at RAF Wittering near Peterborough in Northants. “None of us had ever been to a large RAF base before, so it was quite an experience”, writes Charles Izzard (No.9). “Activities included plenty of Parade Drill, High Ropes, Archery, shooting tests on the range and on the computer (DCCT) and Air Experience Flying. There was a Bomb Disposal unit on the base and we were given the controls to a bomb disposal robot – not the easiest to operate and we were
allowed to try on a bomb suit which we found extremely heavy! Visits out were to an American War Cemetery, Marshalls Aerospace (an aircraft manufacturer) and the Hawker Harrier museum which were all on site at RAF Wittering. Shooting on our last day there. This had been a good week and we all decided that we had learned a lot and would be very happy to go on another camp just like this one.”
