Mistry in Space
The International Space Olympics is one big competition between many countries for a total of 10 days. The competition is held in Moscow, Russia. Students aged 15 - 25 can enter, however you have to compete in many subjects prior to being selected.
Only 12 students from the City of Bradford were selected and Seetal from 44F (City of Bradford) Squadron was one of the lucky ones. The International Space Olympics is a one in a lifetime opportunity. As well as getting time to visit the many attractions in Russia. Seetal had to endure exams in Moths, Physics and Literature lasting some 4 hours."You enter looking for adventure in the grounds of the youth hostel doing your own thing and making new friends from places you would never visit.2 said Seetal and added, “The best thing was meeting the Cosmonauts in "Energia" (Space Company) and get to ask them questions about space and even get a chance to speak live to the Cosmonauts living in the International Space Station 23,000 miles above Earth "
Seetal went on to say " We had to do a presentation, and I prepared this some four months earlier before I had even gone to Russia. I had the time of my life and I will never forget it. But I must say the best part of the trip was not only my educational enjoyment, but meeting people from other Countries and getting to know them. I even found time to meet Russian Air Cadets, and it was nice to meet the cadets, because we had so much in common.
Media & Communications Officer Yaseen Rahman said," Its great that Cadets in the Air Cadets find as they enjoy the adventure, many many doors start to open for them and this just proves, being in the Air Training Corps and joining in the adventure, can lead to many new things maybe even a career in aviation. It’s what we do best at the ATC")

Cadet Meets NASA Astronauts
Cadets and NCO’s from Bradford Air Cadets, went to meet the NASA Astronauts in Bradford during a once in lifetime opportunity and the Squadron did not want to miss it. Having met as they always do on a Mon and Friday, the cadets and NCO’s went to seek out the NASA Astronauts. With a bit of negotiation and charm, they finally got the opportunity they had waited for and spent some time chatting with the Astronauts.
Cadet Bostock even managed to get a ticket to join in the evening celebrations laid on for the Astronauts. Cadet Bostock was able to ask the Astronauts in some great detail about their recent mission. Akihiko Hoshide (Japanese Astronaut) asked Cadet Bostock, “The ATC, What is that”, laughing at the question, Cadet Bostock explained what the ATC (Air Training Corps) was, and where the squadron was based.
44F Squadron was formed on the 21st January 1939 as part of the Air Defence Cadet Corps and was given the letter F which stands for founder squadron. Only the first fifty squadrons where given the letter and later the squadron became part of the Air Training Corps in 1941.
Akihiko replied “Aah, well I started flying in a Cessna, and eventually joined NASA”
Shakeela Khaliq of Carlisle Business Centre said, “It was great to invite the cadets from 44F (City of Bradford) Squadron to the event; this was truly a one off opportunity”
The Astronauts, from mission STS – 124, were sent to space to deliver key parts for the International Space Station and in particular the Japanese Science Lab – KIBO. Mission Commander Mark Kelly, Specialist Karen Nyberg and Specialist Kenneth Ham, were more than happy to come and chat with cadets and spent some time with them.
