2288 Montrose Squadron Air Training Corps

07/06/2026

As we come to the end of we say an incredible thanks to our hard working adult volunteers who lead and manage the squadron providing training in line with the RAF Air Cadets syllabus. Without them we would not be able to deliver opportunities for our young people.

2288 (Montrose) Squadron has a mix of commissioned and non commissioned officers (who are uniformed), civilian instructors and our Civilian Committee Members (who support with welfare and finance).

If you’ve got some free time on your hands we’d be glad to have you on board! Get in touch with us via message or on [email protected]

Congratulations to the latest cadets to join our team of Cadet Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs). These individuals have worked hard on their uniform upkeep, marching and interview skills as well as making efforts towards a high engagement with the Squadron and wider activities through Progressive Training Syllabus progression and attendance.

Promotion to Sergeant - Cpl Summers

Promotion to Corporal - Cdt Hogg and Cdt Carle

Thanks to all those that applied but missed out this time round - keep up the good work!

Last weekend Cpl Fisher and enjoyed a weekend of Adventure Training at the Central Scotland Wing RAF Air Cadets Adventure Training Weekend supported by our own CI Davidson who was supporting the walking element. Concurrently running was a Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Expedition which Cdt’s Gibson and Hogg participated in, well done to both of them for completing successfully.

Elsewhere Flt Lt Smith attended a Blue Level RPAS (Drone Flying) Instructor Course, allowing for this training to be rolled out to our Cadets.

One of many opportunities our cadets are able to gain - one of our cadets completed Blue Fieldcraft on this course, joining a number of others who have already completed it. CI Davidson was also part of the staff team instructing on the course.

This week three of our cadets were able to experience the thrill of Air Experience Flying at Leuchars Station! For two of these cadets this was their first time on an Air Experience Flight. Briefing Completed 🎥, Cockpit Drills Completed ✅, Weather Checked ☀️ and the cadets were airborne!!

Whilst at Leuchars we managed to catch a glimpse of the Spitfire which is on its 90th Anniversary Tour of the UK and speak to a member of the team involved in the tour and hear a bit more about the aircraft!

Just one of many experience open to our cadets!!
