Dorset Plane Pull for the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF)

On Monday 27 August Air Cadets from 2358 (Ferndown) and 149  (Poole) Squadrons got together to help raise funds for the JTYAF.  Many of the cadets have flown in Aircraft and Gliders before but having to pull an aeroplane was a new experience for them.

Especially as this was a giagantic bright red Boeing 737 cargo aircraft owned by the Post Office!  The team took up the strain and pulled for all they were worth getting a time of 49 seconds for the pull.  Between them the team raised £820.00 for the JTYAF a great achievement for the cadets.

The JTYAF supports Air Cadets from Dorset and Wiltshire Wing by providing them with scholarships and bursaries to support their personal development and the pursuit of their ambitions.
