✨ What a year it has been at 1245 Sqn! ✨
With over 100 badges achieved, 11 well-earned promotions, and countless events throughout the year, our squadron has continued to thrive as a high-achieving unit full of cadets who constantly strive for excellence.
Whilst this year hasn’t been without its challenges, through every setback our cadets have shown outstanding dedication, resilience, and loyalty. From weekly parade nights to major events and opportunities, they have continued to prove that 1245 Sqn is a place where young people can learn, grow, and challenge themselves to become the very best versions of who they can be.
This year, we’ve also celebrated some truly standout achievements, including two cadets representing us on the incredible Exercise Mountain Storm in Canada, as well as cadets and staff attending two Annual Camps on RAF Stations across the UK, gaining unforgettable experiences, skills, and memories along the way. These opportunities reflect the hard work and commitment shown across the whole squadron.
A huge thank you to every cadet for your motivation, enthusiasm, and determination, and to our dedicated staff team for the countless hours, effort, and passion you give so selflessly. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to 1329DF (Tetbury) Sqn for hosting and supporting us throughout the later half of this year — your support has been greatly appreciated.
We are incredibly proud of everything achieved this year. Here’s to celebrating our successes and looking forward to an even bigger and better year ahead. On behalf of the staff team, we would like to wish all Cadets and their families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and look forward to seeing you all again in 2026! 🎄✈️
