Is Cadet Denys Tiutiunnyk the first Ukranian @DofE recipient? We think he might be. So very hardworking, building up lots of qualifications since arriving in the UK two years ago. @ComdtAC @AirCadetsNorth 👏 👏 🇺🇦

Great news for 861
The first successful candidate from yesterday’s Cadet Warrant Officer Boards is Fintan Noon from 861 (Wideopen) Squadron 👏 He was first in and it is safe to say that CWO Noon set the standard for the day with one of the best interviews I’ve ever sat on! Well done CWO 🥳

Another great shout out for 861 Wideopen Squadron from Robson Green on his coast to coast show on C5. We STILL provide the young people of the Wideopen area with those flying and gliding experiences and more! #Riversmeetproductions #RobsonGreen

How far can you fly-this-flyer? Hoping the paper airplane on our leaflet leads some younger Children to build their first aircraft! (and hold onto our details) @DNWAirCadets @AirCadetsNorth @ComdtAC

The support for a little remembrance parade like ours this year has been stunning. Two social media posts, 1 year apart. x10 level of engagement. @PoppyLegion @hqacmedia
