We were delighted to present five more cadets with their Essential First Aid badge this evening! This qualification gives them the vital skills needed to save a life across a variety of emergency situations. Thankyou to our cadet NCOs who assisted with delivery of this course.

Our OC was delighted to present our cadet of the month a gift voucher for outstanding achievement in April. Cadet Gathergood was a great role model to other cadets on our recent camp, and has also consistently maintained a high standard of uniform.

4 of our cadets joined 388Squadron & 60 (Leek) Squadron RAFAC for some more flying at RAF Cosford today. This was made possible by an amazing team of squadron volunteers, and dedicated 8 AEF (Cosford) volunteer pilots who fly cadets from across the region. Thanks everyone! #VolunteersWeek 🙂

We have been updating our noticeboards with a new activity spotlight area. 🔦 Every few months we'll focus on a new activity. This month is about upcoming changes to the RAFAC Space syllabus. Our OC is also from the @RAFACTRT and will be uploading these posters online soon!

We have had a great day assisting the Bruntingthorpe Lightning Preservation Group at their event this afternoon. It culminated in a fantastic re-heat of one of their aircraft's engines!
