A COAT of arms is being presented to an air cadet squadron in Nailsea to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
The 2467 (Nailsea) Air Cadet Squadron has been granted a coat of arms by the Royal College of Arms in London.
The crest is designed to demonstrate the squadron’s links with Nailsea and features a pick-axe, to represent mining, and two glass blowers lamps with Nailsea green glass being blown.
The crest will be formally presented to the air cadet squadron later this year.
Flt Lt John Radford, officer commanding 2467 (Nailsea) squadron, said: “This is yet another exciting honour for the squadron that continues to build stronger links with the community in which it serves.”
During the year, the group will be offering a wider range of activities including flying, gliding, sports, target shooting, archery and Duke of Edinburgh award schemes as well as a number of camps.
The air cadets, who are aged 13-17, parade on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-9.15pm at Golden Valley School in Nailsea. To find out more about joining call 07889 183080 or email oc.2467@aircadets.org
