and volunteer staff take part in exciting events all over the country. And with over 1,000 squadrons across the UK, you could be one of them...

Get out and get active
Cadet life is about learning through practical experience, especially in the great outdoors! Here's a taster of what's in store:

Camping - Work on your survival skills and learn your strengths in a team. Easter/summer camps - As you advance in rank you can take part in these popular camps held at RAF stations around the UK. Overseas camps - Spend 10 days in Cyprus with fantastic weather, swimming, sailing, and maybe even see the Red Arrows practise their displays (they train there). Head to Germany where you'll visit a city or cemetery from the First and Second World Wars. You may even get to fly in helicopters - another exciting possibility for cadets. Adventurous training - A huge part of cadet training. We have two centres, at Windermere in the Lake District and Llanbedr in coastal Wales, both with stunning scenery. Rock climbing, abseiling, high-level hill walking, mountain-biking, canoeing, high rope work and sailing are all par for the course.

As the DSW Wing Training Weekend – July 2026 comes to a close, we're pleased to announce that OP QUACKER has officially concluded!

Throughout the weekend, our dedicated Duck Hunters searched high and low across the camp, recovering an impressive 30 ducks from their hiding places.

A huge well done to everyone who took part, adding a bit of fun, friendly competition, and plenty of laughs alongside a fantastic weekend of training and adventure.

Check out the August edition of Altitude to discover the winning Duck Hunter!!
