1070 Diss Squadron Royal Air Force Air Cadets

Paper. Straws. Tape. Toilet roll tubes.

Not exactly NASA-grade engineering… but that didn’t stop our cadets launching into STEM night with full competitive intent. 🚀

The challenge: build a rocket, test it, tweak it, then see whose creation could fly the highest and land closest to the target.

A brilliant night of problem-solving, teamwork, and just the right amount of chaos.

No ordinary hobby. No ordinary you.

A brilliant day at Wing Athletics for Team 1070. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏅

From the first event to the final presentations, our cadets gave everything on the track and in the field, supported one another throughout the day, and represented the squadron with pride.

These are the moments that make the RAF Air Cadets special: challenging yourself, working as a team, celebrating success, and making memories along the way.




Here's a look back at a fantastic day in Ipswich. 💙

🏅 WING ATHLETICS 2026 RESULTS 🏅

What a day for Team 1070!
After our biggest Wing Athletics turnout in years, our cadets put in an outstanding performance on the track and field, bringing home an impressive collection of medals for the squadron.

🥇 Cadet Foster – Gold Medal, 800m

🥇 Flight Sergeant Williams – Gold Medal, Javelin

🥈 Flight Sergeant Williams – Silver Medal, 1500m

🥈 Cadet Phillips – Silver Medal, 800m

These medals represent not only athletic ability, but also the commitment, determination and squadron spirit shown by all of our cadets throughout the day.

A huge well done to every member of Team 1070 who took part and represented the squadron so brilliantly. Whether competing on the track, in the field events, or supporting teammates from the sidelines, every cadet played their part.

Congratulations to our medal winners and thank you to the staff, organisers and supporters who made the day possible.

11 cadets. One squadron. One goal.

Our biggest Wing Athletics turnout in years is ready to hit the track today! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Whatever the results bring, these cadets have already done the hard part: stepping up, putting themselves forward and representing 1070 (Diss) Squadron.

Now it's time to compete. 💪
Good luck, Team 1070!

✈️ One aircraft. Several teams. No full plan.

Last night, the RAF Engagement Team took over parade night and set our cadets a proper teamwork challenge.

Each group had to build a separate section of an aircraft, without knowing what the other groups were building. Only designated runners could pass messages between teams. 🏃‍♂️📣

The result?
Clear communication.
Quick thinking.
Leadership under pressure.
And one aircraft coming together piece by piece. 🚀

A huge thank you to the RAF Engagement Team for an excellent evening, and to our friends from Wymondham Squadron for joining us. 🤝

Challenge. Friends. Confidence. Skills that last.

It starts on a Tuesday.

It starts with spaghetti and marshmallows.

This week’s STEM challenge:

🔹 Build the longest bridge
🔹 Build the tallest tower

No glue.
No tape.
Just planning, teamwork and structural engineering under pressure.

Some leaned.
Some collapsed.
Some stood taller than expected.

Every team improved.

This is what confidence looks like before it knows it’s confidence.

13 years old. In the cockpit.

Cadets at 1070 (Diss) Squadron continue to access real flying opportunities as part of their training and development.

Some classrooms have better views.

Would you take the controls?
