Air Commodore Moulds said: “To say I was impressed with the whole event would be an understatement. The setting for the event was perfect and I really appreciate the staff and cadets effort in making this Review to memorable.
"The reputation of the Royal Air Force was significantly enhanced.
"I will never forget the impressive sight of over 250 cadets marching down the high street towards the magnificent Pembroke Castle being led by the Wing Band. The sight and sound of No.3 Welsh Wing significantly enhanced not only the reputation of the ATC but also the Royal Air Force.
My personal thanks go to all involved with the event.”
