🌺 The Remembrance period begins.

As we enter this period of reflection, we remember all those who have served, those who made the ultimate sacrifice and all those whose lives have been changed by conflict.

For the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, Remembrance is an opportunity to honour their service and sacrifice, to learn from their stories, and to ensure their legacy lives on in future generations.

Across the country, our cadets and volunteers will join their communities in paying tribute to the fallen. By standing alongside veterans, serving personnel and members of the public, they help keep the act of Remembrance alive.

We will remember them.

Remembrance 2026 | Wearing Your Poppy with Pride

In preparation for tomorrow (22 October), when the wearing of poppies in uniform officially begins, we’re sharing some guidance for cadets and adult volunteers across Central & East Yorkshire Wing.

Wearing a poppy is a simple but meaningful way to honour those who have served and sacrificed, and it’s important that we wear it correctly when in uniform.

Our handy guide explains when poppies may be worn, which type is appropriate for different modes of dress, and where they should be positioned.

As we approach the Remembrance period, we encourage everyone to familiarise themselves with the guidance ahead of upcoming parades and commemorative events.

We Will Remember Them.

The final post of National Cadet week. Our cadets learn skills for life, make friends for life, grow in confidence and most importantly have a lot of fun doing it (so do the staff!). Royal Air Force Air Cadets definitely no ordinary hobby! Royal Air Force Air Cadets

Weekend training for our newest cadets. Everyone passed their St Johns Essential First Aid and earned their first badge for their brassards. 👏🏼 Then there was time for some pre-uniform drill lessons and the all important uniform care.

National Cadet Forces week day 5. Skills for life. It’s impossible to fit everything our cadets achieve on one slide! Watching them develop first aid skills, map reading, teamwork, leadership, performance skills, presentation skills, critical thinking, problem solving, discipline and standards as they progress through their cadet careers is a privilege.
