✈️ PORTISHEAD AIR CADETS — YOUR ADVENTURE STARTS HERE
Looking for something different to do? Want to try something new, make friends and learn skills that will stay with you for life?
Then come and see what Portishead Air Cadets is all about.
Being an Air Cadet is about far more than wearing a uniform. It’s about challenge, adventure, confidence and opportunity — giving young people the chance to discover what they are capable of.
You could find yourself:
✈️ Flying and gliding
🧭 Learning navigation, expedition and survival skills
🎯 Developing discipline and teamwork
📡 Exploring aviation, communications, space and cyber
🏕️ Taking part in camps and adventurous activities
🎖️ Developing leadership skills and working towards promotion
🎵 Getting involved in music and bands
🩹 Learning valuable first-aid skills
🏆 Working towards recognised qualifications, including the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
And you don’t need to know anything about aviation or the RAF before you join. You simply need to be willing to have a go.
The RAF Air Cadets is designed to help young people build confidence, communication, teamwork and leadership skills while trying things they may never otherwise get the chance to experience.
🚀 COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF
We’re holding an Open Day on Wednesday 9 September 2026, from 19:30–21:00, at:

No pressure. No commitment. Just come and find out what being an Air Cadet could mean for you.

Young people can normally join in from 12 (Year 8 in England and Wales) until before their 17th birthday, and can remain as cadets until 20.
Your town. Your squadron. Your adventure.
