OC Warwickshire & Birmingham Wing RAFAC

This evening, the Wing Warrant Officer and I conducted four Cadet Warrant Officer boardings. I’m delighted that all passed and now join the CWO cadre of the Wing. Please join me in congratulating CWO’s Hemming, Cox, Stokes & Jones! @wbwaircadets @WMRFCA

Vera started losing her sight 15 years ago so doesn't get to the City Ground regularly anymore. She's 92 and the club invited her to hear Mull of Kintyre once again. The Trent End obliged. What a club ❤️

Get your applications in asap! @WandWAirCadets @CCFcadets @OCTESTWest1 #space

83 years ago, on 5 February 1941, the Air Training Corps was formed. Now known as the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, we continue to go from strength to strength. Happy birthday to us! 🥳 @OC_WarksBham @WandWAirCadets @WMRFCA @aircadets @YOUWestMids #HappyBirthday

A very busy and rewarding day, visiting @RAF_Cosford to visit with the Wing’s SNCO and Drill courses (had a quick practice of Sword Drill whilst there), then over to watch some of our newer cadets on the range. @wbwaircadets @YOUWestMids @RCWalesandWest1

Incredibly proud to lead over 100 cadets at the Remembrance Parade at Coventry. Fabulous turn out despite the weather. Well done to all @aircadets and staff taking part in parades all over the country. @wbwaircadets @ComdtAC @RCWalesandWest1 @WMRFCA

Fantastic to see so many out for the Armistice Parade in Bedworth, one of very few held on 11th November every year. Proud of all the cadets and staff who attended today. @wbwaircadets @ComdtAC @WandWAirCadets @WMRFCA

Today is World Mental Health Day, if we all checked in with one person, everyone would know they’re not alone. Sometimes poor mental Health isn’t as obvious that you might think. @wbwaircadets

A fantastic day and a great opportunity for staff from across the wing to meet up and talk collaboration and innovation.

Today we’re holding our inaugural Wing Convention. We’ll be showcasing all that RAFAC has to offer our potential, new and existing staff in terms of self development as well as updates from Wing SMEs and external visiting speakers and guests. @RCWalesandWest1 @ComdtAC
