An unforgettable experience at RNAS Culdrose!

Our cadets were incredibly fortunate this week to be invited to visit RNAS Culdrose for a fantastic behind-the-scenes tour of the station.

During the visit, they had the opportunity to explore several areas, including Air Traffic Control, the Fire Station, 824 Squadron and 814 Squadron, getting a fascinating insight into the people, roles and operations that keep the station running.

But the highlight of the day was undoubtedly the opportunity to get airborne, with our cadets enjoying an incredible 30-minute flight aboard a Merlin helicopter! An experience that we're sure will stay with them for a very long time!

A massive thank you to everyone at RNAS Culdrose who made this visit possible. The time, enthusiasm and hospitality shown to our cadets was genuinely appreciated, and opportunities like this are what make being part of the Air Cadets so special.

We'd also like to say a huge thank you to our own staff team for giving up their time and supporting the visit.

An absolutely brilliant opportunity and some very lucky cadets!

Supporting the Poppy Appeal 🌺

A big thank you to all of our cadets and staff who joined us at Helston Tesco today and last Sunday to help collect donations for the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal.

Your time, enthusiasm and willingness to give up part of your day to support such an important cause is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who stopped to make a donation too. Every contribution helps support serving and ex-serving members of our Armed Forces and their families.

Well done, everyone! 👏

We Will Remember Them. 🌺

National Cadet Week

This week we’re celebrating everything that makes the Cadet Forces so special. The opportunities, friendships, experiences and achievements that help shape thousands of young people across the UK.

We’re incredibly proud to share this special message from His Majesty The King, recognising the dedication of cadets and the adult volunteers who give their time to make it all possible.

If you’re a current or former cadet, volunteer or supporter, we’d love to hear your stories! Share your memories, photos and experiences using and .

And if seeing what we do inspires you to get involved, we’re always looking for new Adult Volunteers to join us. You don’t need military experience, just enthusiasm, a little spare time and a willingness to help young people achieve more than they thought possible.

Could you be part of their next adventure?
