Last week we bid farewell to our CWO Horscroft as he leaves for Hailsham Sqn to transition into a staff role.

CWO Horscroft has had an astonishing and full cadet career even becoming a qualified aerospace instructor!
He has made quite the impact at 2530 and has left his mark helping shape our squadron into what it is today!

We wish him the very best into his transition to staff and with all his future endeavours!

Cadets participated in the annual Eugene seghers memorial today whilst being joined by a very special guest!

We were joined by a Belgian Air Force Brigadier general and a Lieutenant colonel to participate in the act of remembrance.

The purpose of the Eugene Seghers service is to remember the actions of Belgium Flight Lieutenant Seghers, who stopped a V2 bomb from dropping on uckfield in WW2. He blew the bomb up in the air, sacrificing his own life for others. His actions saved many lives in the local area of Uckfield, and he deserves to be remembered on this special day.

Well done to all 2530 cadets that participated!
