Another fantastic day for cadets from !

Cadets have been hard at work completing the Essential First Aid (EFA) Blue syllabus, learning vital life-saving skills and building the confidence to act in emergencies.

The course covered key areas including Primary Survey, Resuscitation, Choking, Bleeding, Treating Shock and more — equipping our cadets with skills that could truly save lives.

Delivered by our brilliant instructors CWO Snowden, FS Miller-Hall, WO Rhiannon McGrail, and Sqn Ldr Phil Magee — thank you for your time and expertise!

Proud of every cadet who took part 👏💙

🚨GOOD NEWS FOR BLYTH!🚨

After seeing the post from Blyth Air Cadets last night about their stolen trailer, we shared it on the Copper Cars page to help spread the word.

This morning our desk staff took a call from a member of the public who thought they might know where it was👀

The office messaged me straight away I went to check it out on my way into work…

✅And we found it.

The stolen trailer has now been recovered and reunited with Blyth Air Cadets🫡

This is exactly what community is all about.

People looking out for each other, sharing posts, making calls… and getting results.

Massive credit to:
💙 The member of the public who spoke up
💙 Our office staff for acting fast
💙 Everyone who shared the post

We’re proud to be part of a community like this.

Because we’re not just a taxi company…..

We are Copper Cars.🚖

It’s been found! It’s had a bit of a beating but we think the majority of the kit is still in there so thank you all so much for helping us to retrieve it especially all the shares, the complete stranger walking their dog who found it his morning and Copper Cars who, when contacted this morning, went to where it had been dumped and waited until a member of staff arrived - we are so grateful for your help!

Hi, our compound was broken into over the weekend and our trailer filled various tents, gazebos, sports equipment etc. stolen. The purpose of this post is to see if anyone has seen this trailer and/or any further information as to where it is or who stole it. Our compound is opposite the Crematorium on Cowpen Road. If you do have info then please let us know, the equipment and trailer were bought following extensive fundraising by the cadets themselves and are very expensive to replace!

🎖️ Mayoral Visit 🎖️

This evening, we were pleased to welcome Mayor Cllr David Swinhoe of Blyth and Deputy Mayor Cllr Rick Baker to the squadron. During their visit, they were given an insight into cadet life, observing the wide range of experiences and training that take place on a typical parade night.

Meanwhile, cadets took part in their respective projects:

✈️ Flight Simulator – Cadets developing flying skills and practising formation flying.

📚 Military History – Learning about the formation and development of the Special Air Service (SAS).

📱 Public Relations – Preparing for an upcoming open evening and developing social media skills.

We extend our sincere thanks to the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Blyth for taking the time to visit and support the squadron. It was a pleasure to showcase what our cadets achieve each week.

A great evening for all involved.

⛺️ Fieldcraft Skills ⛺️

Tonight, cadets practiced foundation level fieldcraft skills such as learning about harbour areas and century duties as well engaging in a practical exercise involving the different forms of shelters than can be constructed in the field using surrounding nature and equipment such as basha poles.

🏕 The skills covered tonight serve as vital practice of skills that will be put to the test on our upcomming squadron camp which will be held at RAF Spadeadam in May, and will partly focus on developing leadership and fieldcraft skills with cadets.

Well done to all who took part in tonights exercises! 👏
