WHAT A WEEKEND AT 432 WOODBRIDGE SQUADRON!

Three days, a packed programme, and so much to be proud of!

It’s been another incredibly busy weekend for 432, with our cadets and staff making the most of every opportunity.

Friday Night – Sports Night & committee meeting

We kicked off the weekend with a fun-filled sports night, bringing plenty of energy, teamwork and friendly competition! Our Squadron Committee also met for a committee meeting, joined by the Officer Commanding, to discuss the continued development and success of the squadron.

Supporting Our Friends at 356 Squadron

Sgt Black took to the range to run a shooting session in support of our friends at 356 (Felixstowe) Squadron. It’s fantastic to see squadrons working together and supporting opportunities for cadets across the Wing!

Saturday & Sunday – Fieldcraft Training Weekend

We descended on MOD Woodbridge for a full weekend of Blue Fieldcraft training, alongside our friends from Ipswich Felixstowe and Norwich Squadrons.

The result? An incredible 15 Blue awards and 3 Bronze awards across the four squadrons! A huge well done to everyone who took part, pushed themselves and developed their fieldcraft skills throughout the weekend.

Sunday – Wing Cross Country

Meanwhile, Cpl Cobbold and Cdt Pullen headed to Thetford along with CI Camplin to represent Woodbridge at the Wing Cross Country competition.

A special congratulations to Cpl Cobbold, who secured an impressive 2nd place in the Under-18 Boys category! 🥈 He will now go on to represent Norfolk & Suffolk Wing at the regional competition. An outstanding achievement!

We’re incredibly proud of both cadets for getting involved and representing 432 so well.

From sport and shooting to fieldcraft, leadership and cross-country running, this weekend has been a brilliant example of what the Air Cadet experience is all about.

A massive thank you to all our staff, volunteers and supporting squadrons who give up their time to make these opportunities possible, and to every cadet who got stuck in and made the weekend such a success.

We’re incredibly proud of what our 432 family continues to achieve!

✈️ THREE FIRST-TIME FLYERS, ONE INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY! 🛩️

This Saturday, three cadets from 432 (Woodbridge) Squadron RAF Air Cadets headed to RAF Honington alongside CI Ed Eley to take part in one of the most exciting opportunities available to our cadets, glider flying!

For our three first-time flyers, it was a chance to experience the thrill of aviation first-hand, see the world from a completely different perspective, and take another step towards the skies.

Opportunities like these are what make being an Air Cadet so special. From learning about aviation on the ground to experiencing flight for themselves, our cadets are encouraged to challenge themselves, build confidence and aim high.

A huge thank you to CI Eley for supporting our cadets and helping make these experiences possible, and to everyone involved in delivering flying opportunities for the next generation of aviators!

Who knows - this could be the start of something special! 👀✈️

And there’s plenty more to come!

📣 We’re recruiting!
Our next 432 (Woodbridge) Squadron Open Evening is tomorrow night – Wednesday 7 October at 7:30pm.

🚀 NATIONAL CADETS WEEK 2026 IS HERE! 🚀

Today marks the start of National Cadets Week, and across Norfolk & Suffolk Wing RAF Air Cadets, we're celebrating everything that makes the cadet experience so unique.

From adventure and aviation to shooting, sport, fieldcraft, STEM, music, ceremonial duties and leadership, our cadets are constantly learning, challenging themselves and trying something new.

But being a cadet is about more than the activities.

It’s about confidence. Friendship. Resilience. Leadership. Community. Opportunity.

It's about giving young people the chance to discover what they're capable of, and perhaps finding something they never knew they could do.

Over the coming week, we'll be sharing some of the incredible opportunities and achievements from across our Wing.

📸 Follow along and see what our cadets get up to!
