Volunteer Appreciation

The faces behind the training and the people behind the opportunities.

Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (CFAVs) give their time, skills and energy to make every parade, camp, challenge and achievement possible.

From early mornings to late nights, muddy boots to proud moments — they’re there for it all.

Swipe through to meet some of the people who make it happen. Some of our cadets even became staff members!

Thank you to every CFAV for everything you do. 🫶

Cadets in the community

Air Cadets isn’t just about training — we’re about giving back, getting involved and making a difference in our local community.

From supporting Remembrance Day and the Poppy Appeal to getting involved in the Faversham Carnival, St George’s Day Parade and local car show, our cadets are proud to support and be part of our community.

A huge congratulations to Cadet Warrant Officer Epps! We are delighted to celebrate CWO Epps on his recent promotion to Cadet Warrant Officer, the highest rank a cadet can achieve.

This prestigious appointment is a Wing-held post, meaning the promotion must be approved by the Wing Commander, making this a particularly significant achievement.

This promotion is a true reflection of the commitment, dedication and hard work CWO Epps has shown throughout his time in the cadets. His efforts have not gone unnoticed, and we are incredibly proud to see him take this next step.

Congratulations once again, CWO Epps! Your promotion is thoroughly deserved, and we have every confidence that you will continue to represent the squadron with pride.

On the 5th of February 1941, The Royal Air Force Air Cadets was formed. Today we celebrated the 85th anniversary of its formation. This took place at St Clement Danes Church, the Royal Air Force Church.

2 cadets and 2 staff members from our squadron were lucky enough to attend, as well as over 80 Kent Wing cadets, joining other cadets from around London and South East Region.
