AIR cadets can learn water skills thanks to a £2,700 donation from the police.
The money will be used by the 2427 (Biggin Hill) squadron of the air training corps to buy sports equipment and canoes for watermanship training.
Bromley deputy borough commander Detective Superintendent Martin Huxley was invited to the squadron’s presentation evening and inspected the cadets on parade.
He then handed over a cheque at the headquarters in the RAF Enclave, Main Road, Biggin Hill.
Martin Huxley said: "It's my pleasure to donate this money on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Authority to a scheme which works to support our young people.”
Money to pay for the kit came from the police property fund - money made from the sale of items confiscated by the police or lost property which was not claimed by the owners.
