Great to have Dr Rebecca Robinson and Gemma Collins from Cyber Works @LancasterUni join 2246 Carnforth & 345 Lancaster #RAFAC Sqns last night, running a #Lego #CyberSecurity #STEM Session. Much #engagement in the room, and a fun but competitive atmosphere throughout the evening.

Following recent graduation from @QAIC_RAFAC Crs14, Cdt Sgt Jacob Cooper isn't letting the grass grow under his feet.
Jacob has just gone solo on an #AirCadetPilotScheme course @taysideaviation after 12hrs of flying - impressive given he can't drive a car yet! #RAFAC #WhatWeDo

[2246RAFAC @2246RAFAC]

@2246RAFAC joined other community and youth groups this weekend for the #PlatinumJubilee Parade and Service organised by @CarnforthTC - great to see everyone come out and celebrate 70 years of HM Queen Elizabeth II as monarch!

Congrats to Cdt Sgt Cooper graduating from @qaic_rafac Crse 14 this week at RAF Cranwell, after 6 months training on the prestigious QAIC Course (usually selects no more than 40 cdts/year from across UK). Little Sqn like 2246 punching above its weight nationally. Superb Jacob!

Super day spent with the talented @aircadets graduating on this year’s @qaic_rafac - big thank you to Air Marshal Phil Sturley for supporting this brilliant course!

[2246RAFAC @2246RAFAC]

We've been moving the rest of our equipment back from Covid storage recently now that @2246RAFAC is operational again. Great opportunity to dust things off and run #archery sessions for the junior cadets!!

In October 2021, Cdt Sgt Jacob Cooper was selected for the prestigious Qualified Aerospace Instructors Course (joining #QAIC Crse 14). Jacob is at RAF Cranwell this week for final training/assessment and fingers crossed, will graduate with the coveted blue lanyard this weekend!

We've been quiet on Twitter for a few months as the squadron has striven to make a comeback following the long Covid-enforced shutdown - but lots has been happening, keep watching for updates on some of the recent achievements of our cadets and staff! #WhatWeDo #BounceBack #RAFAC
