Flt Lt Appleby has gone on extended leave for personal reasons. In his place Flt Lt Cheeseman has been appointed the Officer in Charge although Flt Lt Appleby is still the Officer Commanding.
Flt Lt Cheeseman has been in the Air cadets for quite some time. Having been at 1334 Squadron for 15 years and was previously at 308 Colchester Squadron and 1830 Tendring Hundred Squadron holding the position of Officer Commanding for 15 years.
Flt Lt Brown remains as Squadron Adjutant, a position she took when Flt Lt Appleby took over command of the Squadron from her. That's a lot of experience, Three Officers with a record of service and all with Command experience.
We look forward to Flt Lt Appleby's returning as soon as he can.
