It was the closest finish possible as two squadrons tied for first place at the South & East Midlands Wing Field Day competition held at RAF Wittering.

With gale force winds making the outdoor activities difficult, 1211 (Swadlincote) Squadron and 1359 (Beeston) Squadron could not be separated and shared the McKenzie Cup as joint overall Field Day winners.

1359 (Beeston) Squadron also lifted the Weetabix Millennium Shield for First Aid and Wing Commander Giles Cup for the Leadership Exercise.
