Meet the Team – Squadron SNCO 👋
Continuing our Meet the Team series, we’d like to introduce Civilian Instructor Payne, the Squadron SNCO at 2366 (Bletchley) Squadron RAF Air Cadets.
CI Payne plays a vital role in the day-to-day running of the squadron, supporting the Officer Commanding and staff team while setting high standards for cadets. As Squadron SNCO, he is responsible for maintaining discipline, drill, and dress standards, as well as mentoring cadets as they develop confidence, leadership, and teamwork skills.
A familiar and approachable face on parade nights, CI Payne works closely with cadets at all levels, helping to deliver training and ensuring the squadron operates safely, professionally, and in line with RAFAC values.
