✈️ What if one engineer helped change the course of history?

On Friday 8th May, we’re bringing a powerful and inspiring talk to Leek — uncovering the story behind the man who designed the legendary Spitfire.

Join renowned historian Tony Edwards as he reveals the life, vision and impact of R. J. Mitchell — the engineer behind one of Britain’s most iconic aircraft.

This isn’t just a history talk…
It’s the story of innovation, determination, and a design that helped shape the course of British & European history.

2517 (Buxton) Squadron is 50 years old today. The Squadron has been through some hard times over the last 2 years, but we are now a Squadron on the up! With nearly 30 cadets on the books, and 10 staff! To celebrate 50 years of 2517 Squadron, we have opted to take a new Squadron badge, one that honours our past, and celebrates everything that makes Buxton amazing. We retain our motto “Supra Omnes” - in recognition of our status as the RAF Air Cadets highest (above sea level) Squadron.

We are excited to continue our Squadron journey, and look forward to sharing our progress with you all. Thank you for your continued support.
