Jet Setting for Didcot Mascot

2410 Didcot Squadron has a mascot called Nigel. He has now adopted a jet setting lifestyle as Cadets and Adult Volunteers help him travel the world. H has just sent his first message from Hong Kong, thanks to hitching a lift with CI Dee! We think he’s quite happy!

D-Day Harwell

Cadets and adult volunteers from 2410 Didcot Squadron attended the annual commemoration of the D-Day airlift from RAF Harwell where aircraft from No 38 Group transported glider borne troops as part of the D-Day invasion and liberation of France in World War II.

2410 National Arboretum

Cadets from 2410 Didcot Squadron joined other air cadets from across Thames Valley Wing to visit the National Arboretum and pay their respects at various memorials to service members of the UK and Commonwealth armed forces and civil defence services.

Abingdon Air Show

2121 Abingdon Squadron supported the Abingdon Air and County Show on Saturday the 20th of May. The show was held on the former RAF Abingdon station, now Dalton Barracks. The cadets and adult volunteers of the squadron provided support to the show organisers but it was not all work, the cadets had the opportunity to go airside and meet the display pilots and groundcrew in between displays and be shown around the aircraft as well as watching the show.
