The Duchess of Cambridge Visits RAF Base To Meet Air Cadets

On February 14, the Duchess of Cambridge visited an RAF base in Wittering, near Peterborough. She is the royal patron of the Honorary Air Commandment of the RAF Air Cadets.

Kate met young cadets who were taking part in a skills development camp at the base. She had the opportunity to experience an aircraft, to which Flight Lieutenant Michael Salter, who was assisting her, said “she was extremely good – she was a natural. She was very gentle on the controls, very often people are too rough. If you feel it, it’s extremely sensitive”.

Jordan Bertolaso, a Cadet Sergeant, explained how the controls of a Grob tutor worked. A Grob tutor is a light aircraft which is often used each year for experience in the air.

Kate wore a blazer by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini on top of a black polo neck jumper, jeans and boots.
