We all know Air Cadets love aircraft - so what better place to visit than the Farnborough International Air Show!

This year 68 cadets and 15 adult volunteers attended the Pioneers of Tomorrow Day on the only public day of the show. They got to engage with many industry exhibitors, take part in STEM activities, careers talks, workshops and of course get up close to real aircraft. Some lucky cadets got a private tour of a Sea King Helicopter thanks to Heli Operations.

Cadet Moulière-Reiser of 1349 (Woking) Sqn said after the event, "The day was filled with looking at many stands and looking at many different planes. My favourite part of the day was watching the air show, there were multiple planes on display. The first display stood out to me because there were parachuters who jumped out of an aircraft. One of the parachuters jumped with a big Union Jack flag that weighed over 70 kilograms. Overall, the experience was amazing and I will definitely do it again!"

Last week cadets from Surrey, Middlesex and Sussex Wings came together for a multi activity camp on the Isle of Wight.

They took part in a wide range of activities, with around a third of the cadets having never been to the Isle of Wight before.

Congratulations to FS Collins (2262 Sqn) as Best NCO, and Cdt Gradel (393 Sqn) as Best Cadet.

All had a great time, and a thank you to the staff who helped make it happen

ARMED FORCES WEEK FLAG RAISING PARADE 🫡

Today we joined the other cadets forces and dignitaries from across the County at Guildford Cathedral to mark the start of Armed Forces Week. This annual event includes the raising of the Armed Forces Day Flag outside of the Cathedral followed by a march past with the Lord Lt of Surrey taking the salute.

Despite the hot weather our cadets maintained their high standards of uniform and drill, with several positive comments made by some of those attending about the skills of our cadet musicians.

🎺🥁 BAND PRACTICE 🎺🥁

This weekend the cadet musicians of our Wing Band met to prepare to play at a number of events over the next few months. 50 cadets attended, with half being new to the Wing Band, being trained in band drill as well as learning the music to be played at the events.

It is great to see the Wing Band go from strength to strength, with more experienced cadets now providing training to the newer members.

The Band now looks forward to leading the Surrey Joint Services' Charities Service at Guildford Cathedral to launch Armed Forces Week in the county.

This weekend saw a competition shoot qualifying weekend being held by Surrey Wing at Bulford Ranges, Salisbury Plain.

Cadets undertook long range live firing marksmanship training (LFMT) at ranges of 200 to 300 metres and six cadets successfully passed the Silver Shot qualification with four cadets converting this to Gold Shot as they had previously attended a separate qualifying course.

Many thanks to the keen and eager cadets who volunteered to assist in the butts all weekend to enable all firers to experience the maximum amount of range time available.

On to the next shoot…

On Saturday some of our cadets visited RMA Sandhurst to take part in the latest Wing Shoot. This month included the usual L98 rifle live firing marksmanship training (LFMT), but also added an introductory session for clay target shotgun shooting with the RMA Sandhurst Clay Pigeon Shooting Club.

The L98 LFMT aimed to prepare cadets for a qualifying weekend for upcoming shooting competitions in 2026. After a successful day of shooting several cadets achieved blue shot badges and progressed to the GP3 shoots in the training syllabus including sitting and kneeling positions. Four cadets also successfully passed their bronze shot practice, allowing them to advance to long-range shooting.

The clay target shooting cadets also had a successful day. Each cadet fired 25 cartridges at various trap-fired clays. This was the first time Surrey Wing had used the Sandhurst Shooting Club, leading to valuable connections for future collaboration.

Cadets interested in the shooting competition qualifying weekend on 5-7 June should sign up on the Cadet Portal. They must be bronze shots.
