7743 Jim Gale (’68) Honoured by Trenton Cadet Training Centre
Three years ago a new Air Cadet summer training course, known as the Basic Aviation Technology and Aerospace Course, was added to the curriculum of the Trenton Cadet Training Centre at 8 Wing Trenton.
In establishing a designation for a new top-graduate’s award to be associated with this Course, the Training Centre elected to name it the 7743 LCol (ret’d) James R Gale (RRMC RMC ’68) Award in recognition of Jim’s ongoing interest and involvement in the Air Cadet movement over many years in his capacity as an Air Cadet League Director.
Jim is certainly pleased and honoured to have the opportunity of visiting the Trenton Training Centre twice each summer to take part in the presentation of his namesake award to the top graduate of each serial of the BATA Course.
