Last Thursday, 2195 said farewell to CWO Lewis Vere as he brought his time with the squadron to a close.

The Cadet Warrant Officer joined the squadron late 2020 and has made a strong impact since. From achieving a spot on ACPS to the Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award, Vere has always put 100 percent effort into everything he does including leading the NCO team during his time here.

His time at 2195 has certainly left a lasting impression, and he will be greatly missed by cadets and staff alike. As he now leaves us to begin a new chapter and take on new adventures, we would like to thank him for everything he has contributed to the squadron and wish him the very best of luck for the future. We have no doubt that he will continue to achieve great things wherever he goes!

“The CWO really helped me learn all about aviation in Air Cadets and I’m sad to see him go” - Cdt Cutts

“CWO Vere was such a big help throughout his time and I really appreciate it him leading our NCO team so well. Will miss his jokes!” - Cpl Mitchell

2195 wishes your the best of luck in the future Vere! 👏

What an incredible week it has been for our 10 cadets at the Central & East Region Air Cadets Camp at RAF Odiham!

Joining almost 90 cadets from across the region, our cadets threw themselves into every opportunity on offer. From the unforgettable experience of flying in a RAF Chinook, to leadership challenges, sport, teamwork, and behind the scenes visits to 18 Squadron and the station firefighters, every day brought something new.

Beyond the activities, the camp was about building confidence, making new friendships, and creating memories that will stay with our cadets for years to come. These experiences are what make the Air Cadets so special, giving young people opportunities they simply wouldn't find anywhere else.

A huge thank you to all of the staff at RAF Odiham and the Central & East Region team for delivering such a fantastic camp.

A Day Out in the Community! ✈️💙

What a brilliant day for 2195 (Long Eaton) Squadron at West Park, Long Eaton!

Last week, our cadets got the chance to showcase just some of what the RAF Air Cadets is all about, meeting members of our local community and giving people a taste of life as a cadet.

From getting hands-on with activities and demonstrations to taking part in a drill demonstration in front of the public, our cadets represented the squadron brilliantly throughout the day. 👏

We also had the opportunity to support the Long Eaton Rotary Club, helping with gazebos and lending a hand wherever needed to support the local community. It was fantastic to see our cadets putting their teamwork, leadership and practical skills into action.

A huge thank you to everyone who came over, spoke to our cadets and took an interest in what we do. Days like today are a great way to show that being a cadet is about far more than just uniform and drill - it's about developing confidence, gaining qualifications, learning new skills and getting involved in your community.

And there's more to come… 👀📻
Keep an ear out for Erewash Sound, where we'll be getting a shoutout!
