🎯Shooting🎯 - The cadets have been hard at work honing in their marksmanship skills with the Air Rifle.

🎯Archery🎯 - Through our instructors and equipment, the cadets tried their hands at archery. An activity that we're now commonly hosting throughout the summer.

⛑️First Aid⛑️ - They have also been given the knowledge they need to provide Essential First Aid, in tasks such as CPR.

These are just a few of the many things we get up to on our squadron!

✨May 2026✨

In May we started the month off with 511 staff in Holland on a trip organised by our own WO Neil Whymark - this trip was a great success and we look forward to next year already🤩

We also bid a farewell to WO Nathan Eyre who handed over to our new OC FS Stuart Wren.
As a squadron we are incredibly grateful for the time WO Eyre spent with us and wish him all the best in his future endeavours within the Corps and hope to see him around😊

We gave badges out to cadets and also concluded the month with an air rifle shoot on the squadron.

✈️ STEM Challenge✈️

Cadets put their aerodynamics knowledge to the test by designing and flying competition gliders. After build phases and flight trials, teams refined their designs to maximise lift and minimise drag.

A brilliant hands-on session linking to RAF aviation principles.
Well done all!
