Knife Crime Awareness Evening

As we bring Volunteers’ Week to a close, we’re looking back at a valuable session delivered to our cadets a couple of weeks ago by Mr Tweddle, a valued member of our Civilian Committee.

Mr Tweddle spoke to the cadets about knife crime, helping to raise awareness of the dangers, consequences and wider impact of carrying a knife, while encouraging safe and responsible choices.

Volunteers’ Week is an opportunity to recognise that every member of our team plays an important part in supporting 242 Squadron. From our Civilian Committee and Civilian Instructors to our uniformed officers, each volunteer gives their time, knowledge and experience to help guide, support and create opportunities for our cadets.

A huge thank you to Mr Tweddle for delivering such an important session, and to all our volunteers for everything they do for the squadron.

📸 Photography Night 📸

This week, we held a photography night led by CI Naseby, giving cadets the opportunity to learn and develop their photography skills.

Throughout the evening, cadets took part in a photography competition, putting their new knowledge into practice and capturing some fantastic images.

Congratulations to the winning team, whose photo is featured in this post! 🏆📷

A great evening of creativity, teamwork, and friendly competition for everyone involved.

Massive effort from all the cadets taking on AT Challenge last weekend at RAF Spadeadam 💪🏕️

Great teamwork, determination, and plenty of laughs along the way — including reports of a UFO sighting 👽🛸 …which turned out to be a tent flying across the field in the wind! 🌬️⛺

Proud of everyone for pushing through and giving it their all.

Huge congratulations to Cdt Taylor, Cdt Quinn, and Cdt Tosh on earning their Blue Wings at AEF Flying ✈️💙

A fantastic day shared between Sqn 242 and Sqn 131, made even more special with a royal visit. The day was full of hard work, excitement, and achievement — a big milestone and thoroughly deserved by all three cadets 👏

A proud moment to see you take to the skies and smash it — here’s to many more flights ahead!
