🎉Congratulations to Flt Lt Nigel Jackson, OC 1384 (Askern) Squadron

We are delighted to celebrate Flt Lt Nigel Jackson, OC 1384 (Askern) Squadron, on being officially awarded a South Yorkshire Lord-Lieutenant’s Award, recognising his outstanding contribution and service to the Royal Air Force Air Cadets.

The HM Lord-Lieutenant’s Awards are a prestigious form of recognition, celebrating individuals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and made a real difference through their service. As the Lord-Lieutenant represents His Majesty The King in South Yorkshire, this award is a particularly meaningful acknowledgement of Flt Lt Jackson's contribution to both South & West Yorkshire Wing and the Corps as a whole.

This is a significant recognition of Flt Lt Jackson's dedication, commitment and the positive impact he has made through his service.

A very well-deserved congratulations! 👏

Fostering the spirit of adventure... and making lifelong friends.
That was the theme of this weekend's Sector 4 Bronze Duke of Edinburgh weekend. 1384 Askern Sqn were joined by 23 South Elmsall Squadron ATC, 300 Isle of Axholme Squadron and 185 Batley Squadron - Royal Air Force Air Cadets for a mega DofE adventure.
24 cadets were out and about in the Wharfdale area facing the ultimate challenge together. Divided into 4 teams but united in the conquest of this unique experience.
All the typical DofE activities took place, get lost, being chased by farm animals, kissing frogs, and getting stuck in mud.
The cadets all had projects to carry out, carried everything they would need, cooked all their own meals and left the countryside with a new found respect.
We look forward to seeing you all on your Silver expedition adventure next year.

Thank you to all the volunteers who assisted to make this weekend a great success.

Day Walk at Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Team 1384 were joined by 2357 Goole Sqn and other staff from the Wing for a walk in the beautiful Yorkshire Sculpture Park area.
It was a chance for cadets to learn and practice navigation techniques with trainee Lowland Expedition Leaders under the watchful eye of qualified staff.
South & West Yorkshire Wing have some great leaders for the future.
