Kings’s Birthday Reception - 12th June 2026

This evening, a number of our Cadets and Staff had the privilege of attending the Kings Birthday celebrations held at Government House.

Hosted by His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, Vice-Admiral Sir Jerry Kyd KBE, the evening included performances by various local island bands, a 21 gun salute (very near and loud!) and sunset ceremony led by our very own FS Houiellebecq.

It was a great evening for all our staff and cadets who attended with much ice cream being consumed.

Volunteers’ Week 2026

As Volunteers’ Week comes to a close, we would like to take a moment to recognise and thank the incredible volunteers who make 7 Overseas (Jersey) Squadron a success.

Our staff give up their evenings, weekends and holidays to provide opportunities, guidance and support to our cadets. Whether delivering training, organising activities, accompanying expeditions, maintaining equipment or working behind the scenes, every volunteer plays an important role in helping young people develop confidence, resilience and valuable life skills.

The achievements of our cadets would not be possible without the dedication, enthusiasm and commitment of our volunteer team. Their contribution has a lasting impact on the lives of young people across Jersey.

We are proud to highlight just a few of the individuals who give so much to our squadron to showcase their length of service, what their civilian job is and what their fondest memory or favourite activity is.

To every member of staff, thank you for everything you do for our Squadron.

This looks like an amazing opportunity for anyone interested in aviation...

Both brothers were members of the Squadron and their children have or are currently cadets and their nephew is a serving RAF Engineering Officer! 💪

Cadets from the Squadron were tasked to help with a humanitarian exercise, to help our sister islands (Guernsey, Sark and Alderney), they had to provide shelter (9x9 tent), restore communications (8m Mast), render first aid and liaise with the French Coastguard helicopter (Shopping trolley, piloted by Cdt FS Alex Reczynski).

The three teams of cadets performed really well on this consolidation exercise, combining a number of key cadet skills.

St John Ambulance Cadets - Thank You

When we held the Cadet Challenge in March, the cadets from St John Ambulance put on a very impressive first aid stand for us, we wanted to say thank you, so we invited them to the Squadron for a morning of fun and challenges. They had a go at our flight simulators, archery and team building activities.
