Happy 85th birthday to the Royal Air Force Air Cadets!!! 🎂

The RAFAC turns 85 this year, started on the 5th Feb 1941, this aviation minded youth organisation has encouraged, supported and developed so many incredible cadets over the years. From leadership, flying, gliding, qualifications, shooting, sport and so so much more, this really is an organisation that you get out what you put in.

So many cadets from all walks of life have come through those squadron doors and learnt so much! The RAFAC couldn’t be what it is without the incredible force of volunteer staff, permanent staff and civilian committees so thank you all for everything you do!

Here’s to 85 amazing years of VentureAdventure! 🎉 we’re just getting started! ✈️💪

My time as OC has been amazing. From bringing the squadron through Lockdown, to introducing the mayors Cadet, Squadron camps, flying , gliding, the list is endless.

I am going to miss every one of the cadets they are all special.

Thank you Cadets for simply being amazing . For going out of your comfort zone for pushing yourselves further than you thought possible.

Thank you staff team for being so supportive and helping me create my vision for the squadron. For putting up with my visitors. For giving the cadets the greatest cadet experience.

On to my new role with Wing I promise to come visit you all
