2425 SQUADRON · RAF AIR CADETS
Welcome to the online home of 2425 Squadron. Discover what we do, catch up with squadron news and find out where your own cadet journey could begin.
OUR SQUADRON
2425 is a place to try something new, grow in confidence and share experiences you will remember long after the evening finishes.
At 2425, a normal evening can take cadets from aviation and first aid to leadership, STEM, drill or preparation for the next weekend away. It is a place to make friends, learn to work as a team and take on more responsibility as confidence grows. Whether someone arrives because they love aircraft or simply want a new challenge, there is room to find their own path.

TAKE TO THE AIR
Aviation is at the heart of the Air Cadet experience. Cadets can build their knowledge of flight and, when opportunities arise, experience flying and gliding for themselves — turning lessons on the ground into memories in the air.
FIND YOUR CHALLENGE
Cadet life goes well beyond the squadron building. From camps and adventure training to sport, expeditions and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, there are opportunities to challenge yourself, try something new and work as part of a team.

STEP UP
As cadets gain experience, they are encouraged to take on responsibility and support others. Leadership, teamwork and confidence are developed through practical challenges, training and the everyday experience of being part of the squadron.
MAKE IT YOURS
No two cadet journeys are exactly the same. STEM, competitions, target shooting, music, qualifications and specialist training give cadets the chance to discover their strengths, develop new skills and make the most of every opportunity.
