2246RAFAC

Great to have Dr Rebecca Robinson and Gemma Collins from Cyber Works @LancasterUni join 2246 Carnforth & 345 Lancaster #RAFAC Sqns last night, running a #Lego #CyberSecurity #STEM Session. Much #engagement in the room, and a fun but competitive atmosphere throughout the evening.

Flt Lt @AllanEWRennie was recently presented with a 3rd clasp for his Cadet Forces Medal, from OC @CLancsWing. Each clasp represents 6 years, so with the medal, totals 30 years of service as a uniformed #RAFAC @aircadets #CFAV. 21 of those years has been dedicated to @2246RAFAC.

Congratulations Maxine Jackson, @2246RAFAC CWC Treasurer, recently awarded the 'Lord Lieutenants' Certificate of Meritorious Service for Adults' by Lord Shuttleworth, recognising continuous service since 1998. Thank you Maxine for your service to the squadron! #WhatWeDo #RAFAC

@More_Lancs_RAFA #BattleOfBritain service at @stbmorecambe with @345ATC and @CLancsWing Wing staff. Big 'thank you' to everyone that was able to make it - very well presented and a credit to the organisation. Great job Cdt Price, first time as 2246 Standard Bearer. #WhatWeDo

Congratulations to WO Marina Shuttleworth who was presented the #CadetForcesMedal today. The medal represents 12 years service as a uniformed Cadet Forces Adult Volunteer. Well done and thanks for your service to @2246RAFAC and the wider @aircadets organisation. #CFAV #WhatWeDo

Following recent graduation from @QAIC_RAFAC Crs14, Cdt Sgt Jacob Cooper isn't letting the grass grow under his feet. Jacob has just gone solo on an #AirCadetPilotScheme course @taysideaviation after 12hrs of flying - impressive given he can't drive a car yet! #RAFAC #WhatWeDo

@2246RAFAC joined other community and youth groups this weekend for the #PlatinumJubilee Parade and Service organised by @CarnforthTC - great to see everyone come out and celebrate 70 years of HM Queen Elizabeth II as monarch! @CLancsWing @AirCadetsNorth

Congratulations to the North Region graduates of QAIC Course 14. @ACO_RCNORTH

Congrats to Cdt Sgt Cooper graduating from @qaic_rafac Crse 14 this week at RAF Cranwell, after 6 months training on the prestigious QAIC Course (usually selects no more than 40 cdts/year from across UK). Little Sqn like 2246 punching above its weight nationally. Superb Jacob!

@ComdtAC @aircadets @qaic_rafac We're super proud of Cdt Sgt Jacob Cooper of @2246RAFAC on graduating #QAIC this week... and many congratulations to all on your achievements! #RAFAC #AirCadets #WhatWeDo #aerospace #instructor

We've been moving the rest of our equipment back from Covid storage recently now that @2246RAFAC is operational again. Great opportunity to dust things off and run #archery sessions for the junior cadets!! #WhatWeDo #RAFAC #AdventureTraining #AirCadets

In October 2021, Cdt Sgt Jacob Cooper was selected for the prestigious Qualified Aerospace Instructors Course (joining #QAIC Crse 14). Jacob is at RAF Cranwell this week for final training/assessment and fingers crossed, will graduate with the coveted blue lanyard this weekend!

Cdt Sgt Jacob Cooper was appointed as ADC to the Town Mayor of @CarnforthTC at the end of 2021. Here he is accompanying the Mayor, Cllr Larry Branyan @lobranyan on his first official duty on Remembrance Sunday (Nov 2021). #RAFAC #AirCadets

We've been quiet on Twitter for a few months as the squadron has striven to make a comeback following the long Covid-enforced shutdown - but lots has been happening, keep watching for updates on some of the recent achievements of our cadets and staff! #WhatWeDo #BounceBack #RAFAC

Congratulations to Cdt Sgt Cooper of @2246RAFAC on appointment as ADC to the Mayor of @CarnforthTC, Cllr Larry Branyan, fulfilling his first duty at todays Remembrance Parade and Service, as well as representing the youth of Carnforth and the surrounding areas. #AirCadets #RAFAC

@2246RAFAC joined #Councillors, #veterans, youth and community groups for todays #RemembranceParade and Service. An unusually sunny November morning ensured a great turnout to remember those from the town that gave their all in the service of our country. #LestWeForget #AirCadets
