Annual Formal Inspection Success!💪💜

1145 Squadron recently underwent its Annual Formal Inspection. This is where senior RAFAC officers from Central Scotland Wing RAF Air Cadets visit the unit and inspect all elements of the squadron. While it might sound like a daunting process, it’s really about making sure we’re delivering the very best cadet experience we can.

The evening was a chance to showcase the many elements of life at 1145, with our cadets proudly demonstrating what they get up to on a squadron night:

🔹 High-quality drill
🔹 Our new RPAS (drone) programme
🔹 Squadron charity work
🔹 Military intelligence taskings
🔹 STEM activities
🔹 Our new recruits programme

And OOFT…did they deliver! 💜

We also took the opportunity to recognise some fantastic achievements with a few promotions. Huge congratulations to our newly promoted:

⭐ Corporal Henderson
⭐ Corporal Millar-Doughty
⭐ Corporal Mitchell
⭐ Sergeant Kerr
⭐ Flight Sergeant Ormiston

All thoroughly deserved. Well done to you all, we’re looking forward to seeing what you achieve next! 👏

✈️National Cadets Week at Sky Dunfermline ✈️

As part of National Cadets Week, we were delighted that our Sqn were invited as guests to Sky Dunfermline, alongside other Cadet organisations.

It was a fantastic opportunity to meet with fellow Cadets and CFAVs, share experiences and celebrate the work of the Cadet Forces. 🤝

During the visit, Sky staff had the opportunity to try out the flight simulator 🛫, giving them the chance to experience a taste of what it’s like in the cockpit!

A huge thank you to Sky Dunfermline for welcoming us and hosting such a great experience. 👏

Happy National Cadets Week!

Over the past five days, four cadets from 1145 travelled to France and Belgium for the SNI Belgium Battlefield Tour 2026 🇫🇷🇧🇪

From visiting Vimy Ridge, Tyne Cot and the Menin Gate to exploring preserved trenches, cemeteries and memorials, it was a truly eye-opening and memorable experience.

The cadets gained a deeper understanding of the World Wars and the lasting impact they had, while creating memories that will stay with them for years to come.

A fantastic and educational trip for everyone involved! 🇬🇧

This week, our Cadet NCOs took part in a dedicated training session to further develop the skills and qualities needed to lead effectively within the Squadron.

The evening covered the practical duties and responsibilities that NCOs carry out on the Squadron, as well as drill command and control, giving our NCOs the opportunity to refine their leadership skills and confidence on the parade square.

The session also focused on the ethos and values of the Squadron, reinforcing the importance of integrity, respect, teamwork, and leading by example.

Well done to everyone who took part in the training. It was a valuable evening of development, and we look forward to seeing these skills continue to be demonstrated across the Squadron!
