733 (Newcastle Airport) Squadron

733 (Newcastle Airport) Squadron Are you up for fun, adventure, incredible experiences and something to give you the edge in life? 733 (Newcastle Airport) Squadron is the place to be then!

Are you up for fun, adventure, incredible experiences and making new friends? Are you looking for something to give you the edge in life? Then welcome to the Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC). Better known as the 'Air Cadets', we’re a UK-wide cadet force with more than 40,000 members aged between 12 and 20 years. We're sponsored by the Royal Air Force and can give you hands-on experience of activ

ities and courses that will challenge and develop your skills to help you succeed in whatever you want to do. As a cadet you'll have the opportunity to do things that others only dream about. Want real flight experience? No problem. How about heading out on adventurous training and camps, sometimes overseas? Normal for cadets. Competitive sports, drill, shooting, music, abseiling, engineering projects? Our list of activities is long, varied and open to all cadets. Yes it's a challenge, but that's what life's all about. Let's face it - where else would you be given the opportunity to fly solo in a glider or powered aircraft when you're 17? Whatever you do with your life, at the end of your time as a cadet you'll be self-motivated, confident and ready for anything.

First Flights of 2026! ✈️

Cdt Atkinson, Cdt Denham and Cdt Yang recently visited 9/11 AEF, based at RAF Leeming to take to the skies.

Unfortunately poor weather meant an early end to flying, but we’ll be back soon for another chance! However our cadets did get the opportunity to watch multiple RAF aircraft in the air ✈️

Lest We Forget 🌺

On Sunday, 733 cadets and staff came together in Ponteland for a heartfelt Remembrance Service and Parade — to honour those who gave their lives in wars and conflicts across the world.

We gathered to show our gratitude for their courage and the freedoms their sacrifice has given us.

“Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.” 🌺
