📚 Educational Visit 📚

Last week, the Squadron, alongside Cadets and Staff from 473 Hartlepool Squadron RAFAC, visited Hartlepool College of Further Education to gain an insight into their Aerospace offering, as well as gaining hands-on experience with their equipment and resident aircraft!

With many of our current cadets studying aerospace, with some of our younger cadets wanting to study aerospace, the visit provided valuable insight into what topics they would study, and also, where studying at the college could lead to career wise!

🌾 Blue Fieldcraft 🌲

Yesterday had seen our very own Cadet Henderson travel to 1869 Middlesbrough Squadron RAFAC to partake in a Blue Fieldcraft Course in which she passed!

The course covers the fundamentals of how to operate in the field as per the RAFAC Fieldcraft Syllabus e.g. how to correctly erect a shelter etc.

Blue Fieldcraft is a stepping stone to more senior Fieldcraft courses / qualifications within the Organisation, ones in which we hope to see Miss Henderson undertaking in the near future!

Well done!

🩳 Swimming Proficiency Success 🩱

Friday Evening had seen x3 Cadets travel to Millhouse Leisure Centre, within Hartlepool, to work their way through the various swimming proficiencies offered by the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, alongside 473 Hartlepool Squadron RAFAC

These proficiencies not only, recognise performance in the pool, but also, open doors to a number of different water-based activities within the Organisation!

Well done to Cadet Morland, Cadet French and Cadet Close for achieving their basic proficiencies, and a further well done to Mr French for achieving his Intermediate!

🪐 Space, Satellites and Solar 🛰️

Over recent years, the Royal Air Force Air Cadets have introduced a Space focused syllabus of training to align our focus, with that of the Royal Air Force!

At the weekend, we were invited to 473 Hartlepool Squadron RAFAC to partake in a Blue and Bronze Space Course respectively, with the Bronze Course expanding on knowledge learnt through the Blue Syllabus, to allow the Cadets to better understand what Space is and how it can be of use!

Congratulations to all the Cadets that attended, we look forward to seeing you flaunt your new badge on Squadron!

A massive well done to all that attended!
