25.01.2022 For over 80 years, cadets of the Australian Air League have taken part and assisted in ANZAC Day Dawn Services and Parades across Australia. The Australian Air ...League was founded in 1934 by Mr George Robey who was himself one of the original ANZACs, and a veteran of the Gallipoli Landing. Whilst the current COVID situation prevents Australians gathering together, we are proud to take part in Light Up the Dawn this coming ANZAC Day. Our thanks go to the Cadets and Officers, and their parents who helped to make this video possible.

03.01.2022 Continuing on from our recent #MeetTheOfficers profile of the Australian Air Leagues Chief Commissioner, today we have a short profile on the Australian Air Le...ague NSW Group Executive Commissioner, Lieutenant Commissioner Jeffrey Remington DSA MSA (N8228). 1. Date of Joining and what inspired you to do so? 10th April 1972. My godfather was the person who inspired me to join, he was a member fo the Royal Australian Air Force and a member of the air league as well. Also like many 10 year olds I wanted to fly! 2. Whats your favourite part of the Australian Air League? Meeting people, watching and assisting fellow air league members to grow and achieve greater horizons whether it was in education or simply in a general sense and seeing them become young men. 3. Whats your fondest memory associated with the Australian Air League? Travelling to Melbourne for the Federal Reviews by train and meeting other members from across New South Wales but also meeting new members whilst being billeted out with families from Victorian squadrons and becoming friends with them. Friendship is an important aspect of the league and so many people forget that. 4. Whats next, any big ideas for the Australian Air League moving into the future? Combining a state into one group was an experience and one I had never thought of doing within my first year as Group Executive Commissioner, and then came COVID-19 which has been the biggest challenge to date in a number of aspects trying to get specific information from the governments is not easy, but having learnt that a number of the younger members have embraced and are engaging on a number IT platforms is encouraging for the future. #volunteering #cadets #truelocal #lovelivo #moorebankblackbirds
