🚣‍♀️ PARADE NIGHTS REIMAGINED 🌊

Our cadets have been getting stuck into Paddlesports on parade nights and having an absolute blast doing it! From racing across the water to mastering new skills, teamwork and laughs were in full supply.

Some cadets even managed an unexpected swim… 👀💦 while the staff somehow took part and stayed completely dry (we’re still not sure how!).

It’s all part of bringing more adventure, activity and fun to squadron life, because parade nights should be anything but ordinary!

Thanks to for running yet another fantastic session.

April saw 34SQN take part in the Target Sprint Competition, entering 3 teams for the first time ever — achieving some fantastic results 🎯🏃‍♂️

The squadron achieved:
🥈 No.2 RAFAC Team (4x🥈 medals)
🥈 No.2 Top Community Cadet Team (4x🥈 medals)

A special congratulations to Cadet Wilkins who achieved:
🥈 No.2 Top RAFAC Cadet
🥇 No.1 Over 16 Final with an impressive time of 6 minutes 40 seconds (3x 400m runs and 2x shoots)

Cadet Wilkins will now go forward to the Target Sprint Championships 👏

The OC and CI Creasey also took part in the adult competition, with CI Creasey finishing as the fastest female adult, whilst the OC discovered the cadets are very capable of taking embarrassing running photos 📸😂 (none are featured in this post, as the OC has veto rights)

A huge well done to everyone who represented 34F SQN throughout the competition.

This time last year, we were preparing for the prestigious Lees Trophy inspections 🏆

Month of hard work and dedication, led to us being selected to represent London & South East as the region’s top unit — later being awarded the Morris Trophy as runners-up, officially making us Number 2 🥈in the country.

This achievement made possible by the commitment of our cadets, staff, and supporters.

With this years selection underway we want to wish every squadron taking part good luck.
