The Battle of Britain is remembered on the closest Sunday to 15 September (Battle of Britain Day). On the 15 September 1940 the Luftwaffe launched a massive assault in the skies over Britain, but after heavy fighting the RAF inflicted a decisive defeat.

Our cadets remembered some of the 544 RAF aircrew and 312 RAF personnel killed on the ground during the battle by planting crosses at some of their graves.

Lest we forget.

A fantastic evening at the RAF Club, London, celebrating the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our amazing staff team.

It was a great opportunity to relax, enjoy excellent company, and strengthen the friendships that make our Squadron such a positive environment.

Here’s to continued success, teamwork, and many more occasions together!

🏆🏆 261 IS BEST SQUADRON IN SURREY 🏆🏆

At our recent Awards Night, 261 (Guildford) Squadron were crowned Best Squadron in Surrey Wing.

261 Sqn has been one of the largest and most active units within Surrey Wing for many years, and often have represented the Wing at Regional and National competitions. Their most recent success was winning the Morris Trophy for runner-up in the National Best Squadron Competition. Something they hope to match or better this year as they now go on to represent Surrey Wing to see who will be the Best Squadron in London & SE Region.

Congratulations and good luck 261!
