This week is Junior Leaders Field Gun week at HMS Collingwood. Teaams from local colleges, naval and air force establishments, sea and army cadets alongside apprentices from BAE Systems and tournament sponsors Network Rail compete with Field Gun equipment and come together as a team over the course of the week.

After four days of training the teams will tomorrow run two timed heats before finding out which final they will run in. Below I have posted a selection of images from Thursday’s training. Many of the images have been taken by students/apprentices from the teams using Alligin Photography equipment and I hope you agree they have captured some excellent moments.
