Launch the fleet! Thanks to all those who have got Tutor back in the air with our RAF Air Cadets. Let’s see some photos of Cadets enjoying Air Experience flights again please! @aircadets @ComdtAC
6 FTS and our fantastic Air Experience Flights across the UK have been given permission by AOC22 Gp @cabster3560 to return to cadet flying. 7AEF tried today but we were beaten by the wind. Can’t wait to see cadets flying with us once again. @RoyalAirForce @ComdtAC @ComdtCranwell

Our new plastic-free poppy will reduce our carbon emissions in production by 40%! 😮
We’ve been working with @ucl to assess the environmental impact of the new poppy, compared to the previous design, and ensure its sustainability.

This new Poppy looks great - what do you think @aircadets?
How great does the new plastic-free poppy look?
Made from 100% paper, the new poppy will be available for this year's Poppy Appeal and we can’t wait to see it being worn with pride from October.
We’d love to hear what you think of it ⬇️

The QJC team have arrived back at @451SqnATC. 600 miles cycled and 8 days to do it. Immense effort from FS Brown and his Dad Ash

A wonderful afternoon celebrating the safe return of FS Brown and the rest of the Queen's Jubilee Challenge team.
The rain didn't dampen our spirits. We've enjoyed a lovely BBQ, cookie decorating and played games.

When FS Brown did LEJOG he took a little Cornish Pastie on the front of his bike! I wonder if there’s a Welsh Squadron that has a little Welsh Dragon to do the Queens Jubilee Challenge on Alex”s bike! @451SqnATC @WandWAirCadets @RCWalesandWest1 @OCWMercianWing @carolvorders

Last night 233 visited @NTCroome the site of RAF Defford to tour the museum and discover the story of radar development that was pioneered onsite. A huge thank you to the volunteers who gave up their evening and imparted their knowledge!
