400 (Birkenhead) SQN

En route to Normandy with @400SNCO & a contingent of cadets and staff from @400Birkenhead for Ex Tomahawk III. Looking forward to a great week ahead learning and appreciating the sacrifices made 75 years ago. Another amazing experience for our cadets! #whatwedo #aircadets #400

Last night, 29 cadets visited @TheHiveYZ where the amazing resources for sports activities where utilised. Cadets had a great time being coached by Everton Badminton coach, Steve who taught them proper techniques! We then ended the night playing games of Basketball.

Tonight at 400 sqn, we made a brand new media team. They will keep you posted and informed on the many different activities that we do. This will be across all social networking sites including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. pic.twitter.com/0i36vD1tkD

Easter bank holiday? Must finally be DofE season! Rain has stopped though 🙌 @DofE

Last night Fg Off Roberts delivered a STEM lesson. There will be a total of 11 sessions over the year, with the next session being 'forces in motion'. Hands up of you want to go on the STEM camp 🙌🙌🏽

Brilliant day spent @RAF_Shawbury Cdts got to try out RADAR & VISSIM Sims, visit RAF police, Air Traffic Control & tour the new Juno Helicopter. They also managed a peak into the Armoury & a guest visit from the Station Padre #busyday (part 2) @aircadets @MerseysideWing @ComdtAC

Station visit currently in progress. Massive thank you to the ACLO at @RAF_Shawbury @Airbus @1290Sqn still so much more to see

British Sign Language night at @400Birkenhead Squadron. Secret messages flying around the room. I think they have forgotten that I know what they are saying! 😁 @ComdtAC @RWO_WW @NWRFCA_SCEO @MSWFirstaid

Tonight cadets were tasked with creating news reports based on current media topics. They filmed themselves and then the news was played back infront of staff who judged for the best flight. Brilliant effort and lots of giggles.

We are hosting a recruitment evening next week! Want more information? Check out facebook.com/events/3247038…

Cdt Forrester and Sgt Acharya represented the squadron today at the Lord Lieutenants Young People Poppy Appeal. The award luncheon celebrates the efforts made by young people to raise funds for @PoppyLegion. Well done. @MerseysideWing @BirkenheadRbl @ComdtAC @aircadets
