Air Cadets squadron seeking recruits

Cdt Irvine, Cdt Crookshanks, Sgt Dawson, CWO Peel, Cdt Pearce, Cdt Pedlow and Cpl McDowell.

The squadron is inviting people to find out more about the Air Cadets by attending its Open Parade Evening on Thursday, August 24.

The event, which will take place at the squadron’s Conway Street HQ from 7.30pm - 9pm, will give prospective new recruits a flavour of what the RAF Air Cadets is all about.

“Staff and cadets will be on hand to show people what they do, show them around our squadron, answer their questions and hopefully give them the information they need,” a spokesperson for 817 Squadron said.

“Anyone aged between 12 and 17 who wants to join as a cadet, or anyone over 20 who might be thinking of volunteering for a good cause, we have something for you.

“We are actively recruiting, seeking new cadets and volunteers to help our squadron grow, so come and join us,” the spokesperson added.
