Congratulations to Cpl Wakefield and Cpl Roberts!

Both cadets recently attended the Bronze Aviation Wings Course at RAF Leeming, where they put their skills and knowledge to the test throughout the course.

A fantastic achievement and another great example of the opportunities available within the RAFAC for cadets to learn, develop, and challenge themselves.

Exciting session at 617!

We were pleased to welcome the Wing Drone Officer, who joined us to support cadets through the drone syllabus and provide expert guidance throughout the training.

Cadets had the opportunity to build their knowledge and gain confidence as they progressed through the course, working towards successfully completing their Flyer ID for drones.

A brilliant hands-on session with great engagement all round and a real step forward in cadet progression! 👏

The not so secret bunker....

617 Squadron had a great trip to Hack Green Secret Bunker, taking part in a fascinating tour packed with history and insight. It was a great opportunity to learn more about the bunker’s role and explore its hidden depths.

We were also joined by our friends from 1873 (Sandbach) Squadron, which made the experience even better, always great to collaborate!

617 Does MasterChef!

With the holidays in full swing, we decided to put a twist on our usual parade night and put our cadets’ cooking skills to the test!

Guided by our staff team, each flight went head-to-head to create a three-course meal, competing for the title of best presentation and taste 🍽️🏆

From creativity in the kitchen to teamwork under pressure, it was fantastic to see everyone getting involved and rising to the challenge.

A brilliant evening full of fun, laughter, and some seriously impressive dishes, well done to all involved!
