"Well done to the cadets of 2493 (Alsager) Squadron, you were all amazing at Wing Training Day today and showed everyone what this squadron is about. Every single cadet made a real effort and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you to our NCOs for all your hard work, it was much appreciated. Special mention to Sgt Kwong for making the drill commands heard over the wind, and to Cpl Fielding and Cpl Bailey for their organisation. Days like today make me very proud to be your OC. BZ all!

Sector 2 does it again…Bronze DofE qualifying expedition — done! ✅

Well done to the cadets from 2493 (Alsager) Sqn and 201 (Macclesfield) Sqn who completed their qualifying expedition in the Peak District this weekend. Two days, two nights, self-navigated, self-catered and carrying everything themselves including one boot that lost its sole entirely and had to be held together with gaffer tape to the finish.

Thank you to all the staff for their support and help it doesn't happen without you.

Expedition section complete — brilliant effort, all of you. 🥾👏
