Well that all folks!
After 9 yrs & 9 months in command of @staffswing I reach my last parade evening.
It has been the greatest honour of my life to serve with the CFAV of the Wing as their OC. Best of luck to Wg Cdr Vahter as he takes command tomorrow. @ComdtAC@mariabyford

We celebrate pride month with all our RAFAC family this June. As an organisation, we strive to foster an environment where everyone can be themselves without fear of judgement or discrimination. We live with pride.

I often get asked why Pride Month is important; for many LGBT+ people it’s very personal & often difficult to get to the essence of it. This graphic, thanks to @WORAFAirCadets, does a great job of explaining why. Respect Difference - everybody, every day. @RAFAC_Aspire@RAF_LGBT
4 of our cadets joined @388Squadron & @60LeekSquadron for some more flying at @RAF_Cosford today.
This was made possible by an amazing team of squadron volunteers, and dedicated @8aef volunteer pilots who fly cadets from across the region. Thanks everyone! #VolunteersWeek 🙂
