2504 Fordbridge Squadron Air cadets

14/09/2026

What did you do this weekend? 🎯

Cadets from 2504 (Fordbridge) Squadron and 2028 (Southam) Squadron gathered at our local squadron HQ for a weekend of weapons training and Live Fire Marksmanship Training!

During this activity, cadets were taught safe handling of the BSA Scorpion Cadet Sporter Air R***e, they worked on their marksmanship skills and were tested on their handling skills during a formal assessment known as a Weapons Handling Test (WHT)

Completion of the WHT allows cadets to move onto Live Fire Marksmanship Training where the theory was put into practice and the cadets got their first taste of target shooting.

Plt Off Jarvis, Skill at Arms Instructor for the weekend said; “It is always a please to teach weapon handling skills, watching young people grow in their abilities and confidence. The air r***e platform used allows for a great foundation before moving onto larger or more complex cadet weapon systems such as the L98A2 Cadet Purpose R***e!”

2504 Squadron would like to offer a sincere thank you to Sergeant Ben Weller of 2028 Southam Squadron ATC Royal Air Force Air Cadets for assisting with both the IWT and range day. Alongside 165 Castle Bromwich Squadron ATC for the generous use of their range!

Cadets are taught weapon handling skills as part of a structured programme of supervised training that emphasises safe and responsible use.
