THE local air cadets are looking to recruit the next generation of youngsters to take to the skies.

The 49F Greenock squadron will be hosting an open evening at their Ardgowan Street club on Thursday January 19 from 7.30pm.

Throughout the year the organisation offers a range of activities for pupils between 12 and 17, including air experience flights, pilot navigation and gliding, as well as camping trips and other training.

Anyone interested is invited to the open event.

More information is available by emailing 49@rafac.mod.gov.uk
