Cadet Service at St John the Divine

In Colston Bassett on Sunday 15 January, we were privileged to host a service for the dedication of the banner of 1936 (Newton) Squadron Air Training Corps.

In a packed church, the service was led by Revd Fred Connell, the corps’ padré . After two stirring and patriotic hymns (I Vow to Thee, My Country and Jerusalem), the congregation was treated to an inspiring talk by Kevin Lawry, a former Squadron Leader and Vulcan pilot with a lifetime of experience in the RAF. Revd Connell then spoke before dedicating the squadron’s new banner.
