In 2008 a group of air cadets from Tynemouth were involved in a dramatic mountain rescue in the French Pyrenees.
The team of 6 cadets and 2 staff were taking part in a weeks adventure training in the eastern Pyrenees under the leadership of their commanding officer, Flight Lieutenant Will Close-Ash. The team came across the 7 stricken Belgian walkers whilst out on day walk near the mountain, Pic du Canigou (2784m). the team went on to rescue the walkers and were hailed as "Angels of the North". This was judged to be the best ACO story of 2008 and the team have received a host of awards. See the animoto video of the press coverage.
