Air Cadets
Bill Walker began his cadet career in 1942 with 1707 (Dundee) Squadron of the Air Training Corps (ATC). Joining the organisation just a year after its inception, Bill continued his affinity with the air cadets ever since. He went on to spend a total of nine years in full time regular RAF service, doing National Service including tours in the Middle East and later started the new Central Gliding School as a Flight Lieutenant. He has since held several different roles, many of which featured within the Air Cadet gliding fraternity, the largest gliding organisation in the world, culminating in his appointment in the 1990s as President of Air Cadet Gliding and in 2011 becoming the first officer of the RAFVR(T) to be appointed to the rank of Group Captain.
