2026 will see 8 Sqn start to operate the Wedgetail aircraft, and they will be doing so from a very smart new facility at RAF Lossiemouth. 😎

But, this facility needs a name and we want YOU to choose it 👀

Comment your suggestions for ‘8 Squadron HQ’ below and you could be naming the new home of the Wedgetail aircraft!

Deadline for suggestions is the 15th January 2026.

(P.S. I have already suggested Wedgey McWedgeface 😉)

David Stangers funeral details are:
Date: 19 December
Location: Warriston Crematorium, Cloister Chapel.
Time: 1030
As this is the smaller of the 2 chapels it is advised to wrap up well if attending as indoor seating may be at a premium.

We are sorry to advise the passing of a much respected and admired former member of staff, Mr Dave Stanger.
He was with the squadron for many many years helping thousands of young people in their cadet and often future careers too.
We have been asked to share any memories people have of Dave to be passed to his extended family.

Proud of the contribution our Cadets made on Sunday but more so that they have enough respect to mark this important day. The positive comments from the Session Clerk, Elders and members of the congregation added to the event.
