BASSINGBOURN'S air cadets got an unexpected chance to soar in the sun at a gliding school.
Staff from 2484 (Bassingbourn) squadron were contacted after a few last minute places became available at the gliding school at RAF Henlow, Bedfordshire.
Nine cadets were rounded up to spend the afternoon gliding in a Vigilant glider.
Cadet Holly Ashton said: "This was my first time gliding and I thought it was awesome, flying a glider was such a great experience. When the call from the Squadron came I was eating my lunch, so I finished it quickly and got changed, it was well worth it."
