Hangar project - One year on

We are now just over one year from the official opening of the Hangar by His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor Vice Admiral Sir Jerry Kyd KBE. and we can't believe what a game changer it has been for the Squadron.

The original idea was to have a large open indoor space that we could train during the dark and inclement weather, but the extreme hot weather of the summer has allowed is train in the shade and cool of the hangar. The hangar is now being used on almost a daily bases.

Along with our previous training of leadership, first aid, drill, music, the new hangar has allowed us to introduce new and exciting activities like drone flying, air r***e shooting, fitness, Space and a whole range of more social events.

We could not have achieved this without the support of our funders, who we are indebted to.

Multi Activity Training - Sunday 18 Oct 26

All our cadets were busy having fun today at the Squadron, we had cadets taking part in a National radio exercise, Ex Blue Ham.

One flight were using our climbing tower, another practicing their first aid skills and the final flight using a new electronics training set called Arduino CTC Go, made possible by the Jersey Freemasons

We also ran an air r***e range for qualified cadets and trained another batch of cadets on the air r***e. Again many thanks to the Air Cadet Charity for making this possible.

Finally, we held a Promotion Board, and a number of cadets put themselves through a rigorous selection process, involving a Service knowledge quiz, inspection & drill assessment and an interview. It is fair to say that we have some amazingly talented young people and it is going to be a difficult decision. Watch this space.

Venture Adventure!

Space Training - Making it out of this World

We are continually looking to improve what we offer our cadets and in conjunction with the Royal Air Forces Association Jersey and Jersey Electricity we have put together some amazing new training aids.

As part of their 100 projects that matter, Jersey Electricity supported the Squadron in purchasing a 3D printer which has allowed the cadets to print a replica of the Apollo Lunar Module and meteors.

The Jersey Branch of RAFA have allowed us to extend this project further, with the addition of Galaxy RVR Mars Rovers, which can be used with coding or via an app.

We have also had a high resolution image of the Moon’s surface, taken by NASA and printed onto a vinyl banner

Jersey Community Foundation

We were recently delighted to receive a substantial grant from the Jersey Community Foundation this money will be used to maximize the most of our new hangar.

One of the most exciting developments has been our ability to use the hangar for sports. Under the watchful eye of our qualified PTI staff.
