Former D-Day glider pilot from Ely describes air cadet days
“The Commanding Officer of 1094 at that time was a MR Cant and there were officers from different local businesses, and the Post Office, to give training to the cadets. The Reverend Pelloe taught us maths. “On occasions we would visit local RAF airfields and on one such visit to RAF Witchford myself and one or two other cadets were taken up in a Lancaster. “On a visit to RAF Waterbeach our flight was in an Airspeed Oxford. He added: “A guard of honour by 1094 cadets was put in place for a visit by the young King Peter of Yugoslavia in front of Ely's magnificent old Corn Exchange.”
