On Tuesday the cadets and parents of Penrith Squadron visited the Fighter World museum located in Williamtown NSW near the RAAF Williamtown base.
The cadets learnt about a wide range of RAAF aircraft from the Gloster Meteor Mk8 through to the F-111. They also got to see some of the current F-35A Lightning aircraft operating.
They also got an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the workshops and saw a replica Sopwith Camel biplane from WW1 under construction.

We’ve put together our first newsletter for 2021 (called the Squadron Routine Order) which tells you all the thing that are happening in the next few months.
