Well done to Cpl Shadbolt representing 2243 Sqn at the Lord Mayor's show today. 👏🏻


This evening, the cadets had lots of fun at our Halloween party. We had music and played plenty games like limbo, pass the balloon, finish the lyrics and guess the movie. We had best costume and best carved pumpkin competitions and provided sorft drinks, sweets and hotdogs.


This evening, I was very happy to present FS Bailoor with her very well-deserved Bronze Marksmanship Badge for the L144 cadet rifle. #RAFAC #WhatWeDo #EssexWingMilitarySkills

Today representatives of our squadron had the privilege of being part of the Guard of honour at the funeral of WW2 D Day veteran Don Sheppard. Don landed on Juno Beach on 6th June 1944 as a Royal Engineer and also went on to aid the liberation of Bergen-Belson concentration camp.

@6SATT on tour Part 2… congratulations to the students from @EssexWingATC and @MiddlesexATC who passed the Fundamental Coaching Course at RAF Honington this weekend. Coaching is essential to improve the shooting experience of our Cadets.

From being diagnosed with Dyslexia at 9 to working on Vampire & Wasp helicopters, RAFAC has opened doors I never thought possible. Hands-on learning is my strength, and RAFAC made it happen! Proud to share my #ImpactMatters story this #NationalInclusionWeek. 💪✈️ @aircadets


Congratulations to Sergeant Bailoor on attaining your new rank of Flight Sergeant. 👏

My mate owns this company. Please take a look. He does medal mounting, uniform preparation, flags, banners and a host of other services. His work is second to none. facebook.com/profile.php?id…


Now WO Hart has moved on. I have to try and fill those big shoes as the Sqn SNCO. No pressure!
