To all of our cadets; for many it was your first parade and you went out and did us all proud! At the going down of the sun and in the morning WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Today, at 11am, personnel from 2214 played their part in Washington’s Remembrance Parade, creating a show of blue alongside veterans, the Sulgrave Detatchment of the Army Cadet Force and over 100 people of the Washington area. (1/2)

On Thursday night, we said goodbye to one of 2214’s longest serving cadets, Sergeant Dodge. A symbolic member of our NCO team, Sgt Dodge will be a huge miss but everyone at 2214 wishes him the best of luck in his career with the British Army.

Last week, CPL Johnson, CDT Green, Flt Lt Siberry and SGT Terry enjoyed the Wing’s autumn camp at RAF College Cranwell. The week was packed with unique experiences and interesting visits to numerous sections on the camp!

CDTs Green, Purvis and Brotherton were also presented with their Pre Duke of Edinburgh awards, earning the blue badge to proudly display on their brassards. Well done all- let’s keep the awards and recognition coming!

Last night we recognised some more achievements on 2214. A huge well done to FS Siberry and CDT Hair who earned their blue musicians badge after developing their glockenspiel skills through the squadron band!

Last night we had another award to present! This time, Cpl Gilbert completed her Method of Instruction assessment and passed with flying colours! She was presented with her Method of Instruction lanyard on final parade by our Training Officer, CI Johnston. Well done Corporal!

As well as learning about circuit and traffic patterns, Cadets took control of the aircraft under supervision by the RAF instructors and demonstrated their abilities in flying the aircraft themselves- some even attempted aerobatic manoeuvres such as barrel rolls and loops (3/3)

For some Cadets, this is the best part of being a Royal Air Force Air Cadet- after successfully demonstrating emergency and parachute procedures, each Cadet undertook a 30 minute flight over North Yorkshire in a Grob Tutor aircraft. (2/3)
