C & E Yorks Wing

Today we honoured the 20,000 men and women from Commonwealth Air Forces who lost their lives in WWII but have no known grave. Their names are recorded at the @CWGC Runnymede Memorial. We remember them.

Today saw our tenth Basic Aviation Course for @58SquadronATC and @1869Squadron - with attending cadets learning all about aviation and the amazing opportunities available to them as members of the @aircadets #whatwedo #aircadets

@739atc Must have been a good day, the OC is smiling!

The end of a long and tiring, but extremely successful day and return to flying and gliding activity since our last turn in 2020. The OC even got a brew on the airfield. Perfect 👍

Three successful first launches for three cadets today 😀 also not to forget Sgt Prole who's here for the week doing a gliding scholarship

To the skies!

We are very pleased to announce that Flt Lt Rob Morrison has been appointed as the Wing's Cyber Officer. This will see Rob working hard to improve the Cyber activities available to squadrons, and developing new opportunities available to all within this growing area.

Blue Synthetic Wings training underway for staff and cadets of Sector 5, ready for some assessments this afternoon so they can cascade train cadets at squadron level

Massive congratulations to FS Samantha Crebbin of @58SquadronATC, who flew solo this week as part of the Air Cadet Pilot Scholarship scheme. An incredible achievement, and one that Sam should be proud of. Well done!

Another successful Basic Aviation Course for the Wing. This time cadets from Immingham and @1324HBSqn More photos when we get chance to process; now busy resetting for tomorrow’s course for @EasingwoldRAFAC and @qethelburgas CCF(RAF) section.

Last night saw Wing Aviation our Officer award a Gold Cyber badge to CWO Lowe at 866 (Immingham) last night, alongside his good friend and colleague Sqn Ldr Owen, Radio & Cyber Officer for @SWYorksWing, who awarded Cdr Noel-Dilibarajah with his Silver Cyber badge. Well done both!

This week has been a bumper aviation week for us, with 23 cadets (and a staff member) airborne at 11AEF and 644VGS in just 4 days! We’ve also got one of our cadets up at @taysideaviation on ACPS - so the aviation just keeps coming :-)

@RGONorth @ACO_RCNORTH Pretty sure I can do the brief with my eyes closed by now 😂 excellent to have briefed 230 individuals across the 6 wings. A force to be reckoned with to get the new Blue ATP out there across North Region.

Another 30 gone through Blue Wings Synthetic brief. @ACO_RCNORTH

Central East Yorkshire Wing First Aid Officer visits 119 Sqn to congratulate 19 cadets (not all of them in the photo). On completion of their Blue First Aid Badges. Proud of the Sqn training team and cadets. @119Cadets @CEYorks @aircadets @ComdtAC

Congrats to the 18 cadets who have completed the Blue Synthetic Training this weekend, and the 2 that have successfully earnt their Blue Wings. Big thanks to @2337Sqn for organising, and members of the Wing Aviation Team for teaching! #whatwedo #aircadets

Recently we qualified six new Fieldcraft Instructors, to allow us to get our cadets more involved in Fieldcraft Skills. 20 cadets were taught the basics over 2 days, with a consolidation night exercise in between. Lots of fun and hard work by all! #whatwedo #aircadets

This weekend saw another Basic Aviation Course, this time for @119Cadets and @739atc - with cadets learning the basics of aviation with our skilled instructors, and experiencing our immersive virtual reality set ups. #whatwedo #noordinaryhobby

@PriceNige @119Cadets @aircadets Glad you all enjoyed and we got you virtually airborne! :-)

@119Cadets Sqn Cadets "virtual" flying on the Wings VR Flight Simulation. Big smiles all day. Thanks to the team at CE Yorks. @CEYorks @aircadets

This growing area. She will also be supporting the continued launch of Space within the @aircadets, as we follow the parent service in going above the skies. Best of luck to Clare as she boldly goes into her new post - we're sure you'll be seeing some new opportunities shortly!

We're very pleased to announce that Flt Lt Clare Crebbin has been appointed as the Wing's STEM and Space Officer. This important post will see Clare working hard to improve the STEM Activities available to squadrons, and developing new opportunities available to all within [1/2]

Today sees staff from all corners of the Wing come together for the annual Wing Conference, led by OC Wing, Wg Cdr Waters. An important day of updates, discussion and working on improving the cadet experience ahead!
