In a fitting end to National Cadets Week, eight cadets from 333 have earned their Blue Wings today.
During a morning spent at 639 Aerospace Ground School at RAF Tern Hill, cadets were put through their paces on the flight simulators and part task trainer, learning more about flight control surfaces and instruments and how to take off and land.
They all thoroughly enjoyed the experience - thank you to the staff and flight staff cadets at 639 for making it happen!

Cadets Saving Lives: First Aid Skills that matter ❤️

First aid is one of the most valuable skills a cadet can learn.

Through progressive training, cadets build their knowledge, practical skills and confidence needed to respond effectively in an emergency.

Starting with the basics, cadets learn how to deal with life threatening situations such as bleeding and choking, as well as how to perform CPR and carry out primary surveys.

Step by step, cadets develop skills that could one day make a real difference when it matters most.

NATIONAL CADETS WEEK - It’s Cadet Force Adult Volunteer Recognition Day and could YOU be someone who makes RAFAC happen??
All Squadrons need adult volunteers, whether they are uniformed instructors, civilian instructors, trustees or even chaplains!!
No previous military or cadets experience is required, just a willingness to get stuck in to provide the cadets with the full RAFAC experience. Yes, it can be hard work, yes it involves early mornings but the rewards come in seeing our young people succeed and enjoy new activities - the big grins when a cadet has their first flight, or completes 15km road march, or just tries something that they really liked and thoroughly enjoyed it!
If you feel that you could join our team, please get in touch, either email [email protected] or pop into the Squadron HQ in Smithfield Car Park, Ludlow during parade hours 7pm-9pm Tuesdays and Fridays - it will be great to see you!

NATIONAL CADETS WEEK - CADETS IN THE COMMUNITY 🌱💙
Being an RAF Air Cadet is about so much more than what happens on squadron nights.
Across the country, our cadets are getting stuck in, supporting local communities, volunteering at events, raising money for good causes, taking part in Remembrance parades and lending a helping hand wherever they can.
It’s a chance to give something back, meet new people and make a real difference, while developing confidence, teamwork, leadership and skills for life along the way.
Here are few community events and activities that our cadets have attended:
Poppy selling for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal
Visit to Ludlow Fire Station
Craven Arms Community Events VE Day event
Ludlow Rotary Club Dog Day
Richards Castle Soap Box Derby

Recently, Ian, our Chair of Trustees attended a presentation evening for Richards Castle Soap Box Derby where he was pleased to accept a very generous donation to our funds.
We have helped out at this fabulous local event for over ten years and always have a thoroughly good time. This year the organisers donated over £16,000 to local charities and community organisations - a truly fantastic amount!

Last Sunday, Cadet Dyer and Warrant Officer Daw joined staff and cadets from Sector 5 to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle Of Britain. Taking place at St Paul's Church in Hereford we joined 124 Hereford City Squadron ATC, 151 - Leominster Squadron Air Training Corps and dignitaries including the Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire, in a church service followed by a parade led by the Sector band. We then enjoyed tea and cake in the church hall afterwards.

Yesterday the cadets took part in our Wing competitions day, Exercise Eagles Trial at RAF Cosford.
We competed in the leadership, space, drone and modelling, with the radio, cyber and esports having taken place last week.
The cadets have all put in a tremendous effort, not just the team that attended yesterday, but all the others who did their bit with the early competitions, building and painting the model and working on the bottle rocket and presentation for the space competiton - it was a true team effort!
And all our hard work paid off. Whilst we may not have won any trophies, we were placed 4th in cyber and modelling, 5th in esports, 6th in space, 9th in drone and 17th in both radio and leadership. This resulted in us coming in 12th place overall out of 27 Squadrons - a brilliant result for our cadets that they should be very proud of, I certainly am!
