✈️ CLEARED FOR TAKE-OFF ✈️

This month some of our cadets headed down to RAF Leeming to take to the skies with 11 AEF Squadron in the Grob Tutor! 🛫

Air Experience Flying is one of the best parts of being an Air Cadet. Cadets kit up in a flying suit and helmet, get a full safety brief, and fly alongside an RAF pilot. Many get the chance to take the controls and try some instructed manoeuvres themselves!

A massive thank you to the pilots and ground crew at 11 AEF for giving our cadets such an incredible experience 💙

NACF Annual Camp 2026
Recently, a few of our cadets and cadets from the wider wing joined forces with Northumbria ACF at Altcar Training Camp for a fun week!

Activities included bronze fieldcraft, shooting ranges, visits from regular service personnel from the RAF and Army.

Cadets also enjoyed taking part in drill competitions, navigation, laser pistol and sh***un shoots, and also making use of the climbing wall.

It was a fun, action packed week for all and we hope to be invited again next year!

🥾 Bronze DofE Practice Expedition 🥾

This weekend, our cadets took part in their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh’s Award practice expedition, developing the skills and confidence needed ahead of their assessed expedition.

Working alongside cadets from 1338 (Seaham) Squadron ATC, day one saw the group complete a guided route, learning and putting into practice key navigation techniques while building their confidence in route planning and map reading. After a full day on the move, the cadets set up tents and cooked their own evening meals, developing their camping and self-sufficiency skills.

On day two, the cadets split into two teams and took responsibility for the expedition themselves. From navigating the route and managing the team, to ensuring they had everything they needed throughout the day, they demonstrated excellent teamwork and resilience as they completed the challenge independently.

All of the photographs in this post were taken by one of the expedition teams themselves on a digital camera, capturing the experience from the cadets’ perspective as they progressed through the weekend.

Well done to all the cadets from both squadrons for embracing the challenges of expedition life and putting their training into practice. We look forward to seeing them take on their assessed expedition soon!

♻️ BANK HOLIDAY LITTER PICK ♻️

Following the May Bank Holiday weekend, cadets and staff from the Squadron headed to Seaburn Beach to help tidy up the coastline and remove litter left behind by visitors.

Armed with our litter picking equipment kindly funded by , the team spent the evening collecting rubbish from the beach and surrounding areas, helping to keep our local environment clean and safe for everyone to enjoy.

Community activities like this are a great way for our cadets to give back to the local area while developing teamwork and a sense of responsibility.

A big thank you to all of our cadets who gave up their time to make a positive difference in the community!

✈️ AIR EXPERIENCE FLYING ✈️

Last week, three of our cadets travelled to RAF Leeming for an Air Experience Flying day, giving them the opportunity to get hands-on with flying and experience life around military aviation.

Before taking to the skies, cadets covered aircraft kitting and equipment, completed simulated drills, and learnt some of the theory behind flight and aircraft operations. Once airborne, each cadet had the chance to take control of the aircraft and experience flying first-hand under the guidance of RAF pilots.

The aircraft used for Air Experience Flying are also utilised within the RAF’s initial flying training pipeline, giving cadets a genuine insight into the early stages of military flying training and aviation operations.

A brilliant opportunity for our cadets to build confidence, knowledge, and experience in aviation!
