Fifteen months after closing our doors to our cadets and staff, we finally welcomed everyone back last week and on Thursday we made some long overdue changes to our cadet NCO team.

Congratulations to the newly promoted:
Sgt now FS Robinson
Sgt now FS Speight
Cpl now Sgt Clift
Cdt now Cpl Pinnick
Cdt now Cpl Phillips
Cdt now Cpl Wheeler

It’s safe to say there were some big smiles hidden beneath those face masks!

The Royal Air Force Air Cadets is deeply saddened that our former Royal Patron, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, has died.

Prince Philip was the Air Training Corps’ Honorary Air Commodore-in-Chief for 63 years before handing over to Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge in 2015. His Royal Highness assumed his appointment following the death of our founding Patron His Majesty King George VI, and throughout his Royal Patronage frequently met with cadets and took a keen interest in their activities and achievements.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme is a hugely important legacy, and has featured prominently in the Air Cadet syllabus for many years, and the Royal Air Force Air Cadets has been amongst the largest awarding bodies of the Scheme with hundreds of cadets and junior volunteers achieving the coveted Gold Award every year.

His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh is an important part of the history of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, and we send our admiration and deepest condolences to Her Majesty The Queen and The Royal Family.

Tonight the cadets were practising for the Battle of Britain parade next month. Great effort ladies and gents.

Tonight the cadets have been doing sports. They have been participating in volleyball, benchball and badminton. And after all of that I am well and truly ready for bed after being beaten mutiliple times at badminton.

I hope all of the cadets have had an enjoyable evening. Parade nights, like the one we have just had, are vital to the cadets bonding and I hope they have all enjoyed themselves.

As an adult volunteer I'm am amazed at the commitment and drive shown by all of the cadets tonight. Amazing effort, and I'm very proud of you all.
