Everyone was a little busy for pictures, but on 26th September, 28 of the 37 Squadrons in Thames Valley Wing took part in the annual Wing Activities Day at RAF Little Rissington. 594 (Thame) Squadron's team of Flight Sergeant Annabelle Ward, Corporal George Maguire, Corporal Orson Walker, Corporal Bertie Walker, Cadet Scarlett Batory, Cadet Harry Booth and Cadet River Redwood-Maloney competed in first aid, leadership, STEM, air r***e shooting and foot drill, performed amazingly well, and finished second overall! Well done, all of you.

We posted a little while ago that one of our cadets had been selected as the Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire's Cadet for 2026-2027. On 29th September, Cadet Flight Sergeant Annabelle Ward received her certificate of appointment at the South East RFCA His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire Award ceremony. We are all very proud of her!

594 (Thame) Squadron was lucky to be able to take up the opportunity for some more flying yesterday at No 6 Air Experience Flight, RAF Benson. Two cadets took flight for the first time. Smiles all round!

A very busy evening yesterday to end the run-up to our summer break. It started with a visit from the Mayor of Thame, Councillor Andy Gilbert, who presented Sergeant Addis with his medal of appointment as Mayor's Cadet for 2026/27. On final parade, we presented First Class Cadet badges to our newest four cadets. Corporal Booth returned from First Aid camp having qualified both for a gold first aid badge and as an Instructor Cadet. To round the evening off, our County Commander, Squadron Leader Webb, presented Flight Sergeant Ward with her badge of office, as she has been selected to be the Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire's Cadet for 2026/27. Two civic appointments to celebrate in one evening has certainly meant that we go into our break on a high!

No sooner had our cadets' smiles worn off from last week's flying than we were given another opportunity to visit 6 AEF at RAF Benson after some last-minute cancellations from elsewhere. On another day of perfect weather, six cadets were able to go flying with one qualifying for the award of a Blue ATP badge. Here are some pictures of today's action:

This morning, 4 of our cadets went flying in the Grob Tutor with No 6 Air Experience Flight at RAF Benson. Two hadn't flown before and one is nearing the end of his time with us. As you can see, a great time was had by all!

Yesterday, 6th June 2026, 8 cadets and 2 staff members visited Duxford for its D-Day Flying Day. Unfortunately, the weather didn't play ball (true to that do***ng the run-up to the day itself in 1944). The flying display was much-curtailed but that didn't prevent everyone from enjoying the trip.

With thanks to Taste of Thame for the photos, our cadets were out and about in our community today. They were in town to help set up, helped out throughout the day, and were there to help take down at the end of the event. They did us proud, as ever.
