Christmas came early for Dunmow Air Cadets as they finally got their own minbus after nearly a year of fundraising.

Cadets have taken part in many events to raise money, including a spinathon at Great Dunmow Tesco with the support of Saracen’s Head gym.

The squadron also received generous donations from local businesses and grants from Essex County Council and Stansted Airport.

The cadets and staff would like to thank everybody who has helped and are looking forward to the many exciting possibilities available due to their new transport capabilities.
