AN EXMOUTH air cadet has returned from a ten day trip to the Falkland Islands.
Behn Wright, of the 299 Exmouth squadron, joined up with staff from the Devon and Somerset Wing of the Air Training Corps to take part in the trip to the South Atlantic.
The cadet returned back to Exmouth earlier this month.
Wing commander Wills-Pope said: "Everyone had a fantastic time.
"It was a great opportunity to see not only how the forces operate in the Falkland Islands but to experience the beauty of a truly remarkable place."
The cadets were accommodated at the British Forces South Atlantic Mount Pleasant complex.
