HIGH-FLYING youngsters fired a volley of questions at armed police when they gave a talk to Radcliffe Air Training Corps (ATC) members.

Members of the Greater Manchester Police Armed Response Unit had only been scheduled for a 60-minute talk to the youngsters but stayed for nearly three hours chatting with the eager kids.

The Armed Response Unit's visit to the Knowles Street headquarters had a double-barrelled aim.

The scheme aimed to teach the young cadets of the dangers of guns and to educate them on the work of the team as part of a Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme project.
