An outstanding Saturday at the Royal Air Force Officer Training Academy (RAFOTA), hosting the Inter‑Collegiate Games with Officer Cadets from the Royal Air Force, the French Air and Space Force, and the German Air Force.

Across every event, the standard of competition, professionalism, and mutual respect was exceptional. These games were about far more than sport—they were about strengthening networks, building trust, and reinforcing relations between strong NATO Allies who continue to exercise and operate stronger together.



From teamwork under pressure to leadership in action, the shared values across all three Air Forces were clear to see. The camaraderie, sportsmanship, and friendships formed throughout the weekend are exactly what the Inter‑Collegiate Games were designed to achieve.

A huge thank you to all competitors, staff, and organisers who made the event such a success. RAF Cranwell was proud to host—this was allied training and cooperation at its very best. Congratulations to RAFOTA who won the event.
