Yesterday saw 6 cadets from 231 and 222 head up to Syerston for a gliding experience flight ✈️ 🛫.
25degree heat 🥵 and 45 degree climbs at 60+mph 🤯 and up they went! We even had an ex 231 cadet Flt Lt Adam White look after our 231 cadets all day taking us on thermal tours of the area, we even bumped into some 611 VGS staff!
Thanks to everyone at 644 VGS for having us.

🚀WE’RE LOOKING FOR ADULT VOLUNTEERS!
Could you — or someone you know — help support the next generation?

231 (Norwich) Sqn RAF Air Cadets is looking for enthusiastic adults to join our team.
No military experience is needed — just a willingness to get involved and support young people as they learn new skills, take on challenges and grow in confidence.

✅ Civilian Instructors – helping with activities, sport, STEM, training and more

If you can spare just 2 evenings a week, we’ll provide all the training, guidance and support you need. It’s flexible, rewarding and makes a huge difference to what our cadets can experience.

So if you’re friendly, reliable and enjoy helping others, we’d love to hear from you.

Many thanks to the staff from 864 Watton Sqn for popping over and helping our cadets get to grips with the road marching requirements and telling us of the opportunities we can have, and also helping us understand the DofE award more. After last night's talks I've already heard several cadets talk about doing both! Thanks again Flt Lt Stapleton and FS TD!

Congratulations to the 231 swimming Team did really well last weekend Cpl Mendes won Gold Breaststroke and Silver in Freestyle, Cadets Allen, Woodrow, and Burton got to the final in the team 50m medley and came 5 out of 6. But the other teams did tower over them and they put out a really good fight even in their heats. Well done to all those who attended!

Last Thursday we had a special treat for the cadets at 231 Norwich Sqn! We had a visit to the local fire station to see the engines and all the gear the Norfolk Fire Service use, we had ambulances from St John Ambulance come show use all the equipment they use to help casualties, and Norfolk police bought along some particularly snazzy patrol cars! All in all the cadets loved the entire evening! Thanks to all those involved!

Congratulations to our very own Sgt Ashley Moates, who for the past week has been at RAF Cranwell taking his Combined Initial Course (CIC).
The course took new adult uniformed staff, both SNCO and Officers, through core RAFAC principles, drill, leadership, drill and to gain an ILM qualification, oh and more drill! This training transitioned them from volunteers to recognised leaders within the organisation! Well done to all who attended!

Last Thursday saw 231 Squadron doing something different! hosted us at the Norwich Reserve Centre for a night of team building, career advice, and learning new skills.

The cadets tried their hands at loading training rounds into the PTT (part task trainer), looking at what sort of kit you carried as a soldier, team building radio skills, and some helicopter marshalling!

A great fun night was had by all! Thanks 6 Army Air corps!!
