🏃‍♂️ Cross Country Success! 🏃‍♀️

A huge congratulations to Cadets Holliday and Kane, who both brought home medals at the recent Cross Country event! 🥇🥈

Their determination, effort and squadron pride really paid off on the course. We’re incredibly proud of both of them for representing the squadron so well and showing what can be achieved with a bit of grit and perseverance.

Well done both — fantastic achievement! 👏

Massive congratulations to our incredible cadets this week! 👏✨

🎖️ Cdt J Kane and Cpl Kwecka have both been awarded their Master Cadet classification badges — a fantastic achievement that reflects real commitment and hard work.

🎖️ Cdt D Kane has earned his Leading Cadet badge — a brilliant milestone and well deserved recognition of his progress.

And an extra special shout-out to our newest Cdt Sgt Broatch! 👏
His dedication to the squadron, commitment to mentoring junior cadets, and consistent enthusiasm and excellence make this promotion thoroughly deserved. We’re incredibly proud of you.

Well done all — you’re a credit to the squadron!

Something a wee bit different at the Squadron tonight 👀
One of the best things about the Royal Air Force Air Cadets is the diversity across our organisation — and this evening we’re celebrating Scotland’s National Poet, Rabbie Burns (or Robert Burns, for those south of the border 😉).

More photos to follow from our annual Burns Night supper!
