No 1 Radio School EX LONDON SPARKS

Between 15 and 17 November, 9 personnel from No.1 Radio School took part in Ex LONDON SPARKS, a three-day FD event in London. With the objectives of improving team cohesion, communication, and leadership, and building military knowledge and ethos, the team set off from RAF Cosford.

The 9 personnel came from 5 different flights within No.1 Radio School, many had not worked together previously and didn’t know much about each other’s roles. The event allowed these personnel to build good communication and further cohesion.

Whilst in London, they visited key historic venues and discussed their importance, building both military ethos and a feeling of belonging to a bigger team and whole force organisation. The visit highlighted, through historical events, what teamwork can achieve, when wellorchestrated.

Being away from the No.1 Radio School working environment allowed personnel to communicate with each other in a more relaxed way whilst providing good opportunities to discuss and debate their views on key WW2 events.
