Earlier today, 295 was joined by other cadets from across North Sector to take part in the Battle of Britain Parade in Witham Town Centre. This year marks 83 years since the infamous battle for the skies, and we continue to remember those brave men and women who gave their lives.

They spent the day learning about different fieldcraft lessons and brought all their skills together in the afternoon in a joint exercise. During the exercise, they had to get to a location, observe the ‘enemy’, and report what they had seen and heard, all without being seen.

including having to wade through chest deep bogs and marshland, but it was all worth it for some of the views! They finished their expedition in Barmouth where they enjoyed a well-deserved fish and chips and tested out their driving skills on the dodgems! Well done to you both!

This week, APO Cordeiro and Sgt Roberts have been at Fairbourne in North Wales completing their Gold Duke of Edinburgh qualifying expedition🥾 They endured 4 days of rough terrain, unpredictable weather and lots of hill walking! They had lots of ups and downs (quite literally)…

And there we have it, our final band event of the summer has come to an end! On Saturday, our band was invited to play at Brightlingsea Carnival alongside 1830 (Tendring Hundred) Squadron. As always, the band was on top form and they sounded fantastic!

The Royal Air Force Air Cadets recently changed our tactical recognition flashes to a new design. The new design replicates the colours of the RAF stable belt with the addition of an eagle and ‘RAF Air Cadets’ embroidered on the flash. We are proud to show off our new TRF’s!

295 had a very busy day today parading in the Coggeshall Carnival! Our band was on top form, and our banner party looked amazing! We had a great turnout and it was great to see so many people enjoying our music! We also had a stall to promote the squadron and raise some money.

On Saturday, our squadron had the privilege of leading the Witham Carnival! Our band has been practicing for months and they sounded fantastic! We also had the rest of the squadron walking alongside the minibus, which was brilliantly decorated for the ‘Safari’ theme!

Last parade night, we held another Masterchef Inter-Flight Competition! Each flight had a budget of £12.50 and had to create a three course meal for staff. We had some very interesting meals, including garlic dough balls, steak, chilli con carne, egg fried rice, and ice cream!
