Today saw the squadron attend the Annual Remembrance Parade supported by Great Aycliffe Town Council.

A truly great parade seeing Reserves, Veterans, Army and Air Cadets along with Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Guides and Brownies with the Band come together to remember the fallen.

This year we were joined by Sqn Ldr Burton - Deputy OC Wing, thanks for joining us Sir!

We will remember them.

👻 Happy Halloween! 👻

Last parade night, our cadets enjoyed a Halloween-themed evening filled with fun and a little friendly competition on the side.

The evening started with everyone making their own spooky-themed pizzas, before moving on to some traditional Halloween activities, including apple bobbing and trying their best to eat donuts hanging from a string!

It was lovely to see everyone getting involved and enjoying the activities- and to see everybody in costume! A great evening spent together!

Being in cadets means so much more than just doing drill and flying- from lifelong skills to confidence that will stick with you for a lifetime.

From skills in first aid, to teamwork, long lasting friendships, confidence and leadership, as well as raising interests in STEM, theres so much more than what meets the eye. All of these qualities can help set up cadets for their life, from giving employable qualities, as well as inspiring new aspirations in careers. These skills are developed in so many more ways than on a typical parade night- from meeting new people, trying new things and taking yourself out of your comfort zone, preparing cadets for what comes next in their life.

What do cadets do?- Lifesaving skills

First aid is a core skill taught in the Air Cadets, with training across three progressive levels: Essential, Youth and Activity First Aid

Starting with essential skills such as CPR, cadets build their knowledge and skill as they progress, including learning how to respond to things like anaphylaxis and more severe events.

These are real skills, real confidence, and these skills could one day save a life.
