Last weekend saw 100 cadets turn out for two days of progressive training on subjects including first aid, leadership, weapons and radio communications. The weekend, which included a visit by Commandant Air Cadets, was a rounding success and is sure to be the first of many.

Bristol & Gloucestershire Wing cadets have been competing at the Inter Services Cadet Rifle Meet at Bisley, pitted against cadets from other services and other countries. All cadets did very well and can take their experience into next year to try and win some silverware!

The Royal Air Force Air Cadets have good links with local emergency services and they often pop round to give the cadets an insight into what they do. The Armed Response Unit of Gloucestershire Constabulary popped round to 2419 (Quedgeley) Squadron to say hello #NoOrdinaryHobby

Cadet Warrant Officer Breddy, 2419 (Quedgeley) Squadron, has been lucky enough to be selected for a Gliding Scholarship to gain her Silver Gliding Wings. Well done on being selected and good luck on the course!

RAF Air Cadets from 2328 (Bishop's Cleeve) Squadron experienced the sport of orienteering near Cheltenham. Over two evenings 2328 Sqn cadets impressed their instructors with how quickly they learned and applied the principles of orienteering, as well as to improve their fitness.

2342 (Innsworth) Squadron were delighted to receive a Virtual Reality Flight Simulator, courtesy of Safran Landing Systems. After setup the cadets put the sim through its paces & will be well used as a training aid & inspire cadets to pursue an aviation related career. #WhatWeDo
