✈️ Taking to the skies!

Cadets Sadler, Wroe, Archibong and Finchett had the fantastic opportunity to experience flying with 8 Air Experience Flight (8 AEF) at RAF Cosford.

The cadets took to the skies in a Grob Tutor, gaining a unique insight into the world of aviation and experiencing the thrill of flying first-hand!

A fantastic opportunity and one to remember! 💙✈️

💙 National Cadets Week – Wrap-Up 💙

As National Cadets Week comes to a close, we’ve loved sharing a little glimpse into life at 265 (Chetwynd) Squadron.

From adventure and teamwork, to leadership, personal development, community involvement and trying things you never thought you could do, being a cadet opens the door to so many opportunities.

Every cadet has their own journey, their own achievements and their own experiences — and that’s what makes our Squadron so special. 👏

We’re incredibly proud of how far our cadets have come and excited for the next challenges!

National Cadets Week may be over, but the adventure certainly isn’t!✈️💙
