And they’re off! Cadets from both 359 Bexleyheath Squadron and @1579SqnATC are off completing their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Expedition. Good Luck!

Last night cadets from our most recent recruit intake got enrolled into the squadron. This involved reciting the Cadet Promise and officially being welcomed to 359! A big thank you to the Wing Padre - we look forward to seeing you soon!

A massive well done to Sgt Ball! Over the past week Sgt Ball has completed the 84 mile walk of Hadrians Wall Path - an amazing achievement!

Yesterday, 10 cadets from 359 Bexleyheath Squadron completed their L144 Cadet Rifle initial weapon training. We are pleased to say that they all passed their weapons handing tests and are now able to use the weapon to work towards the shooting syllabus!

A night of achievements! To start with, well done to Sgt Vicary on completing her Cadet Method of Instruction last night- earning herself the yellow lanyard! Congratulations to newly promoted Cpl Mattoo and Sgt Galvin. Well done on your new promotions. Keep up the good work!

Sports fun tonight at 359! #aircadets #whatwedo

A big well done to Cadet Mattoo for completing his Leading Classification tonight! #whatwedo #kentwing #aircadets

Last week, cadets at 359 were lucky to have a visit from Service Instructor and ex 359 flight sergeant Rob Conner. He taught the cadets about RAF life and how he got into joining. Thank you for coming to visit! #kentwing #aircadets #whatwedo

Over the weekend SGT Ball took part in a Clay Target Shoot at Willow Farm Shooting Grounds near Tenterden. This is a monthly event and would recommend putting your name down to give it a go! Well done SGT Ball #aircadets #kentwing #whatwedo

Last night the cadet had a lesson on the use of the Trangier stove. This may have been an excuse for the cadets to cook pancakes! Some of the results were questionable! #whatwedo #aircadets

Congratulations to CFAV Thomas Ridler who was promoted today to the rank of Flight Sergeant. Well done FS Ridler. @Kentaircadets @RegComdtLASER #whatwedo
