This weekend I got to see both sides of RAFAC join up to achieve something big. 70 proficiency badges across 5 courses and 3 units is quite an achievement. Let’s hope it’s a partnership that may continue for a long time! #workingtogether

@SamLawr3 Just your luck you get out for some adventures and the weathers been grim. Welcome to the PD world haha

[Flt Lt D Doherty RAFAC @FltLt_Doherty]

A whirlwind 24 hours! Helicopter travel to London for a stay at @TheRAFClub before #TroopingTheColour2023. I even got to catch up with my old OC @2348MaghullATC.

All these opportunities because I took a chance and joined @aircadets at 14!

Congratulations to the @KingsWoolston cadets who were successful in the latest round of promotions.

It was also a day I got to present 4 yellow lanyards to those who have passed their Methods of Instruction course.

Well done all!

@400SNCO @969WRoberts @MerseysideWing @OCMerseyside @ACO_RCNORTH @ComdtAC @aircadets @IM_TDT @MSW_T_O Very kind of you to give me credit there! I just saw a way to increase engagement with the theory work, and who doesn’t love biscuits? 😏

[Flt Lt D Doherty RAFAC @FltLt_Doherty]

So for the past few months I’ve been preparing for this, switching my Royal Coat of Arms rank slides for those of a commissioned officer with the RAF Air Cadets. It’s something I never thought I’d do, and I’ll never forget my time as an SNCO. Here’s to a new chapter!

[OC Merseyside Wing RAFAC @OCMerseyside]

Congratulations to Fg Off Doherty of @atc146 & @gstccf on his appointment. Well deserved and good luck in your new rank. @MerseysideWing

[Flt Lt D Doherty RAFAC @FltLt_Doherty]

A recent notice to my cadets summarising our main highlights from 2022. Each young person in the CCF at @KingsWoolston and wider @gstccf can be proud of all they have achieved this year and hopefully go on to greater things in 2023! #credimus #whatwedo @CCFcadets @aircadets

[Flt Lt D Doherty RAFAC @FltLt_Doherty]

An honour to play a part in celebrating the success of such a great group of people. I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavours! #credimus

[Flt Lt D Doherty RAFAC @FltLt_Doherty]

Getting stuck in to the first day of #PlatinumJubilee celebrations with a trip to Horseguards with the 1st Battalion Irish Guards #TroopingTheColour and then to The Mall to see the flypast by the @RoyalAirForce. What a day to be British!!!

[Flt Lt D Doherty RAFAC @FltLt_Doherty]

This message from a parent of one of my cadets reinforces just why I volunteer. I don’t do it for praise, but sometimes you need a reminder of the positive impact you have on a young person and THAT is why I #volunteer with @aircadets

[Flt Lt D Doherty RAFAC @FltLt_Doherty]

Amazing amount so far! Certainly helps us keep our momentum!

[146 (Northwich) ATC @atc146]

Wow Wow Wow!!! We are 7hrs into our Drill-a-thon fundraising event and the cadets have so far raised an incredible £2,678.92!!

Thanks to @OCMerseyside for visiting us and supporting the cadets!

@aircadets @ComdtAC @MerseysideWing @FoodbankMid @306RAFAirCadets @AirCadetsNorth

@Head_klal @GSTOutdoor @kings_liverpool @KingsHawthornes @DofE @ShaneIerston @PeterG2710 It was the random acts of ASPIRE that stood out for me. Continuing to get wet whilst helping students they didn’t know to put their tents up in the rain. A total credit to themselves

[GST Outdoor Education Dept @GSTOutdoor]

This week we have been out running @DofE training with all of our @GSTSchools

Learning skills ready for their expeditions.

@Kings_Bolton @KingsWoolston @kings_liverpool @KingsHawthornes

[GST Outdoor Education Dept @GSTOutdoor]

Some half term CPD and team bonding this evening.

You know you have a good team when you choose to spend your free time with them!

@GSTSchools #development #climbing #CPD

[Flt Lt D Doherty RAFAC @FltLt_Doherty]

Another example of the power of the @aircadets with cadets from 2 of our sections mixing and integrating whilst sharing the life changing experience of their first flight. They certainly won’t forget it!

[Great Schools Trust CCF's @gstccf]

Getting our @aircadets in the air is always a priority. Even after a week away, cadets flew with @632VGS gaining blue wings.
