Today 24 cadets from across the wing attended a media industry day at White Waltham Airfield in Maidenhead.
They all took part in a tour around @ShootAviation’s studio where an ITV drama is currently filming.
They had talks from people that work in TV & Film and heard about the career paths they could follow.
Helicopter Services also gave the cadets the opportunity to explore their hanger and see the aircraft used with mounted cameras for filming on set!

Today over 200 cadets from around Staffordshire Wing competed in the annual wing athletics competition held at RAF Cosford.
Cadets competed in a mixture of track & field disciplines both for their units and for the opportunity to advance to being a part of the wing team to compete at the regional athletics competition later this year.
Congratulations to all who took part, and to 395 Stafford Squadron who were the overall competition winners!

Last weekend 15 cadets from around the wing attended a Long Range wing shoot at DMS Whittington Ranges.
Cadets shot the L98A2 at ranges of 100, 200 & 300m as part of the cadet shooting syllabus. 4 cadets progressed through the CLFs and achieved their Advanced Marksman awards!

RAFAC Learn, the long awaited replacement learning system for the @aircadets is currently being tested by 10,000 CFAV and cadets to ensure it is ready to release soon. We're seeing some great feedback from users and can't wait to make it available to everyone.

ALT It is with profound sadness that the Royal Air Force Air Cadets mourn the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Since our founding days in 1941, Her Majesty has been a beacon of inspiration for all Air Cadets, and there will be many members of our Air Cadet family who will have been intensely honoured to have met Her Majesty The Queen and will never fail to recall their cherished memories. Every current and former member of the Air Cadets will hold immense admiration, deep affection, and a strong sense of privilege in their service and commitment to her. The Queen’s unwavering support to the youth of the Nation and her steadfast commitment to public service has for over seven decades inspired every member of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets to pursue an ethos of ‘Service before Self’. On behalf of everyone in the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, our young people, adult volunteers, staff and their families, I offer our earnest respect and heartfelt condolences to His Majesty the King.
