RAF Section RAST Competition

RAF Section RAST Competition

Thirteen students from Stamford’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF) RAF section recently took part in the Royal Air Squadron Trophy (RAST) competition.

The competition was held within the Shuttleworth collection. The Students achieved 5th overall, 1st in the team shooting competition and a 1st in the individual shooting, achieved by Jamie B (Year 12).

Stamford competed against a number of other CCFs in a series of military challenges including drill and uniform, first aid, shooting, RAF knowledge, command tasks and aircraft recognition.

Congratulations to the RAF RAST team who came 5th overall. Special mention must go to the shooting team (Aaron, Jamie, Jolie, Tess and Zara) who won the team competition. Whilst Jamie beat 84 other competitors to win the individual competition. @SpedeNews @Stamford_Head @SHS_Head pic.twitter.com/rtmBYoIWYl
