On 16th December 2021, 84 Officer Cadets from the RAF Officer Training Academy graduated from RAF College Cranwell. 

Assistant Chief of the Air Staff (Plans), Air Vice Marshal C Da’Silva MA RAFR, was the Reviewing Officer at the graduation of The Queen’s Squadron consisting of officers from Modular Initial Officer Training Course Number 8, Specialist Officer Initial Training Course Number 6 and Reserve Officer Initial Training Course Number 67.

Air Vice Marshal Da’Silva said:

“It was a great honour to be the Reviewing Officer for No 8 Modular Initial OfficerTraining Course, No 6 Specialist Officer Initial Training Course and No 67 Reserve Officer Initial Training Course and to see them celebrate the result of their hard work.  I was truly impressed by the high standards of dress and drill displayed on the parade and I was uplifted by their collective sense of enthusiasm and optimism for the future.  The graduating officers have coped well with the additional challenges of training in a Covid-safe environment and shown a level of flexibility and resolve that shows that Cranwell continues to attract, train and graduate the officers that we need.  May they move forward in their careers with the cheerfulness, curiosity and resolve that they showed today, I wish them all the very best of luck in their careers”.
