CADETS from the town's Air Training Corps (ATC) enjoyed one the most successful days in their history at a tough training day.

The 2516 (Droitwich) squadron joined more than 1,000 young people from the Mercian Wing at a Royal Air Force base in Cosford.

The group won five awards including smartest squadron, best ground training squadron and best squadron in Worcestershire.

An ATC spokeswoman said: "This was a fantastic day with excellent results for the squadron -- it was one of the most successful in their history."
