Talking to one of the Graduates

After reviewing the parade, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stringer said:

This is a memorable day for our graduating officers and I congratulate them all on their achievements. They follow in illustrious footsteps, and highlight that the effectiveness of the Royal Air Force - as has been true since our founding in 1918 - rests and relies on the quality and dedication of its people. At a time when the security of the thirty-two NATO nations and their billion citizens is once again endangered, the latest cohort of air force officers to graduate from RAF College Cranwell could not be embarking on a more challenging yet essential vocation. I wish them the very best of luck in their future careers.
