🇬🇧1827 Squadron – Odiham Remembrance Parade 🇬🇧

Today, members of 1827 Squadron had the privilege of attending the Remembrance Parade in Odiham, and we couldn’t be prouder of every single one of them.

They looked incredibly smart, behaved impeccably and marched beautifully. A real credit to themselves, their families and the Squadron.

A few special mentions and congratulations:

👏 Our brand-new Banner Party – what a fantastic first parade! You all did an amazing job and carried yourselves brilliantly.

🎺 Cpl Friend – for playing the Last Post on his trumpet. A particularly special and poignant part of today’s parade, and you did incredibly well. Well done!

🌺 Sgt Lawrence – for laying a wreath on behalf of 1827 Squadron, representing us with such pride and respect.

🌺 Cpl Dilley – who stood alongside the Station Commander and Station Warrant Officer, holding and presenting RAF Odiham’s wreath, ready for it to be laid by the Station Commander. A fantastic opportunity and a proud moment.

Remembrance is an important opportunity for us to come together, reflect and honour those who served, those who sacrificed their lives, and all those who continue to serve.

To every cadet who turned out today, thank you. You represented 1827 Squadron wonderfully, and we are incredibly proud of you all.

Lest we forget. ❤️

*Farewell and best wishes to AS1(T) Kent*

1827 Squadron says farewell to another very popular member of 1827. As we say goodbye to AS1(T) Dan Kent we wish him all the very best as he moves on to further his career within the Royal Air Force.

Having joined 1827 Squadron as a Service Instructor in 2023, he has been a valued and much-loved member of the team. His time at 1827 has certainly left its mark, particularly with the cadets, who have thoroughly enjoyed his drill lessons (although perhaps their feet might disagree! 😉).

He has always been willing to give his time, share his knowledge and support our cadets and staff which has been much appreciated.

Having started his own journey as an HIOW cadet many years ago, it’s fantastic to see that journey come full circle, from cadet to instructor, and now taking the next step in his RAF career.

His departure will be a huge loss to 1827 Squadron but we are incredibly proud to have played a small part in his journey.

Thank you for everything you’ve contributed, the time you’ve given and the enthusiasm you’ve brought to the Squadron.

Wishing you every success in the next chapter of your RAF career. You’ll be missed! 🫡

🌺 Wear your poppy with pride 🌺

1827 Squadron Odiham have been out in our local community supporting the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

Every poppy worn and every donation, no matter how big or small, helps the Royal British Legion continue its vital work supporting serving personnel, veterans and their families.

A very special THANK YOU to Fountains Cafe, who kindly provided our cadets with hot drinks to keep them warm while they were out selling poppies. Your kindness and support was very much appreciated! 💙

Our very own 1827 CivCom Treasurer Lisa Dunkerley was also out in London selling Poppies 🌺 👏🏻

As a squadron with strong links to RAF Odiham, Remembrance holds a special significance for us. It is an opportunity to reflect, show our respect and ensure that the courage and sacrifice of previous generations are never forgotten.

Remembering together. Supporting those who serve. 🌺

🚒 1827 visit RAF Odiham Fire Station🔥

Our cadets had a fantastic visit to RAF Odiham Fire Station, where they got the opportunity to find out more about the important work carried out by the Defence Fire and Rescue Service. 🚒

There was plenty to see and explore, including the impressive fire appliances, specialist equipment and some of the kit used by the firefighters in their day-to-day roles.

The cadets were given an insight into the equipment carried on board the fire engines, how it’s used and the skills needed to operate in challenging environments.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a proper visit without a bit of hands-on experience! Both staff and cadets had the opportunity to try on the rather impressive hazmat suit. Let’s just say it was quite an experience! 😂⚠️

A huge thank you to the team at RAF Odiham Fire Station for taking the time to show us around, share their knowledge and give our cadets such an interesting and memorable experience. 🔥🧯🚒🧑🏼‍🚒

It’s opportunities like these that help broaden our cadets’ horizons, introduce them to different career paths and bring learning to life.

From Cadets to Careers |

The confidence, leadership and teamwork developed through cadet experiences continue to benefit individuals throughout their careers, whether military or civilian.

This week we caught up with Pilot Officer Oliver DeCruz, former Cadet Force Adult Volunteer (CFAV) at 1827 Odiham Squadron RAFAC.

He shared his experiences of being a CFAV, how they have shaped his career and the lessons he continues to carry with him today.

Just a few things 1827 has to offer 🫡

06/10/2026

To kick off the first day of national cadet week, the NCOs put together some words and photos of them in their time as air cadets to celebrate how being a cadet has helped them.

It is clear that being a cadet is a fantastic way to grow as a person, through confidence and leadership, to growing a career in aviation and insight into wider opportunities.

There is so much to celebrate about being a cadet!
