🥾🏕️ Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award Success!🏕️🥾

Over a recent weekend 11 of our fantastic cadets successfully completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition! 🎉👏

Our cadets headed out in two groups, each taking a different approach to their expedition aim.

📸 Group 1 set out with the aim of capturing the beauty of the local area, taking the opportunity to explore their surroundings and document some of the scenery they encountered along the way.

🎬 Group 2 took a rather more creative approach, setting themselves the challenge of creating a music video while completing their route! 🎶📹

Both groups demonstrated fantastic teamwork, navigation, resilience, communication and problem-solving skills throughout the weekend. The DofE expedition is a great opportunity for cadets to step outside their comfort zone, develop independence and learn how to work together to overcome challenges.

It was particularly fantastic to see 11 of our cadets out on expedition, all working towards achieving their Bronze Award. 🏆 The skills and experiences gained through DofE can build confidence, leadership, self-reliance and a real sense of achievement — qualities that will benefit our cadets both within the Air Cadets and beyond. ✈️💙

A huge thank you to Fg Off Dawes and CI Eakin for giving up their weekend to supervise and support our cadets. Opportunities like this simply wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of our amazing volunteer team. 👏🫡

Good luck with the rest of your Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. We look forward to seeing you complete the remaining sections and achieve your Bronze Awards! 🏆🥾

🏔️ Gold Duke of Edinburgh Expedition🏔️

A huge congratulations to Cadet Matthew Addison, who successfully completed his Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition in Snowdonia over the summer! 🥾⛰️

Matthew took part in a challenging four-day expedition, alongside cadets from across South and West Yorkshire Wing, putting his skills, resilience and teamwork to the test in some of the stunning and demanding terrain that Snowdonia has to offer. 🇬🇧🏔️

The Gold expedition is a significant achievement and requires much more than simply putting one foot in front of the other. Over the four days, Matthew had to demonstrate navigation, route planning, teamwork, communication, campcraft, time management and problem-solving, while also showing the determination and resilience needed to keep going when the terrain and conditions became challenging. 🗺️🥾⛺

Experiences like this develop skills that extend far beyond the expedition itself — building confidence, independence, leadership and the ability to work effectively as part of a team. These are exactly the qualities that we want to see our cadets developing through their time in the Air Cadets. ✈️👏

A massive thank you to all of the Directing Staff who gave up their time and effort to plan, organise and deliver such an awesome expedition opportunity💙

Well done, Matthew — an excellent achievement and something you should be incredibly proud of! Good luck with the rest of your award! 🏆👏

🎖️ GOOD LUCK, SGT SAPSFORD! 🎖️

Today we say a fond farewell to Sergeant Austen Sapsford, who is leaving 2490 (Spen Valley) Squadron as he takes the next exciting step in his journey, joining the Army Foundation College in Harrogate. 🇬🇧🪖

During his time with 2490, Sgt Sapsford has been a fantastic member of the squadron and an excellent role model for our cadets. 👏

With a real passion for target shooting and adventure training, Austen has thrown himself into the opportunities available and has always been keen to develop his own skills while encouraging others. 🧗‍♀️🎯👥

He has also played an important role in supporting the training of our newest cadets in White Flight, helping them take those first steps in their cadet journey. ✈️

We’re incredibly proud of what Austen has achieved during his time with us and are excited to see where this next chapter takes him.

Good luck at Harrogate, Austen — make the most of every opportunity! And always remember, once 2490, always 2490!💙✈️

We’re delighted to officially welcome Civilian Instructor Callum Gooch to 2490 (Spen Valley) Squadron! ✈️💙

Having had a fantastic career as a cadet himself, Callum has made the transition at just 18 years old from cadet to Adult Volunteer, continuing his journey with the squadron in a new role. 👏

📚 Callum will be focusing on developing into our Training Officer, helping to plan and deliver engaging training opportunities and continuing to give our cadets the experiences and skills they need to thrive.

It’s fantastic to see a former cadet take the next step and give back to the organisation that has already given him so much. We’re looking forward to seeing what you bring to the team, Callum!

✈️Taking to the Skies✈️

Recently some of our cadets had the chance to put the AIR in RAF Air Cadets and took to the skies over North Yorkshire! 🛩️

From the moment they arrived at the airfield, the excitement was building. Flying suits were issued, safety briefs completed given and then the moment everyone had been waiting for… stepping into the aircraft! 👩‍✈️

For some of our cadets, this was their first ever flight and a culmination of their work towards their Blue Aviation Wings 🔵✈️

A huge THANK YOU to the team at RAF Leeming for giving our cadets this incredible opportunity and helping them experience the thrill of flying first hand!🌟
