The wing falling plate competition was held on the 2nd March 2008, this followed the practice held in Feburary. The competition consists of a run down from 300m to 200m with a team of 4 cadets (3 who must be from the same sqn) and engage the targets (The plates in the photo) with up to ten round each with a time limit of 90 seconds.
