We have had a busy weekend! On Saturday 19 Cadets finished a comprehensive St John Ambulance England first aid course and on Sunday, 12 cadets had a fantastic practical air experience flight at 8 AEF (Cosford) at RAF Cosford. All in all, our cadets gained 26 new qualifications!



We have had some fantastic sporting successes over the past few weekends! We won the Staffordshire Wing Air Cadets Athletics Championship last Sunday, then 11 cadets represented @Staffswing at another competition yesterday, helping secure gold against other Wales & West Region Wings!

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 🙂
