Ruislip Sea Cadets Afloat for 75 years
On Sunday, 16 July, 2017 Ruislip Sea Cadet Corps reaches its 75th anniversary as the first muster for the Unit took place on Thursday, 16 July in 1942 at the Manor Senior School in Eastcote Road, Ruislip.
After 6 years the HQ moved to RAF West Ruislip's No 4 Maintenance Unit (4MU), becoming TS Astra in acknowledgement to the RAF for providing accommodation. When the RAF base closed, the HQ moved again several times before arriving at its present location in 1961 where the Unit became TS Pelican. Events to mark the 75th anniversary will be held later this year in September/October.

The team ran an assembly for the whole school (about 300 pupils) involving 4 Junior Cadets who attend, followed by morning sessions for Years 4,5 & 6 in which pupils were assisted in making and then racing paper boats, undertook drill in the school playground and participated in a knot tying competition. All pupils received a flyer for a Junior "Taster" Evening to be held at TS Pelican in July.
