That's the end of 290 Squadrons' 2020 year. Happy Christmas to all our staff, cadets, parents, committee and Squadron friends! Here's to 2021 and hopefully a different cadet experience for all!


Remembrance parade Weston-super-Mare last year. Extremely proud to be the Officer Commanding of an amazing group of staff and young men and women.

Great to be heading back to face to face training on November 5th! Cant wait to see the Cadets in person 👍


Proud to attend our local @RAFAssociation Battle of Britain Church service. Strange to attend in a suit and with no CADETS, however great to see the RAFA members again.


The staff and I have been working hard to put the squadron back together post refurb and covid. Nearly ready to submit the paperwork to WHQ then hopefully @RgComdtSW will give us the green light to get back to face to face activities 👍
