We are delighted to congratulate CWO Reyes on his appointment as Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet for the City of Edinburgh!

This prestigious, high-profile appointment is a fitting recognition of his dedication, commitment and achievements throughout his cadet career.

We are incredibly proud of CWO Reyes and have no doubt that he will represent both the Squadron and the RAF Air Cadets with distinction.

Congratulations CWO Reyes!

142 (2nd Edinburgh) Squadron are recruiting enthusiastic new Cadet Forces Adult Volunteers (CFAVs) to join our team and help develop the youth of tomorrow.

As a CFAV, you'll have the opportunity to inspire, mentor and support young people through a wide range of activities including STEM, aviation, fieldcraft, shooting, first aid, leadership training and adventurous activities.

No military experience is required – just enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to make a difference.

Whether you can give one evening a week or more, you'll be part of a friendly and supportive team while developing new skills and experiences of your own.

Interested? We'd love to hear from you. Drop us an email to find out about possible roles.

Putting the Air into Air Cadets!

On Wednesday 15th April, six of our cadets had the fantastic opportunity to take to the skies at Leuchars Station, putting their knowledge of principles of flight into real-life practice.

Despite some rather dodgy-looking weather at the start of the morning, conditions held and every single cadet got airborne!

A brilliant experience all round, and a great way to put theory into practice. Plenty of smiles all round after landing!

🎉 Promotion Alert!🎉

We are absolutely delighted to congratulate Flight Sergeant Reyes on his promotion to Cadet Warrant Officer, following a successful interview with Sqn Ldr Reilly, our Wing Staff Officer this evening.

Achieving the rank of Cadet Warrant Officer is the highest rank an air cadet can attain. It recognises exceptional leadership, dedication, and a sustained commitment to the values and standards of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets. This is a significant milestone, reflecting not only personal achievement but also the ability to inspire and lead others at the highest level within the organisation.

We also extend our congratulations to Corporal Gora, who has demonstrated outstanding passion, discipline, and commitment, and has been promoted to the rank of Sergeant— a well-deserved recognition of hard work and self-determination.

👏 Good luck in your new ranks and roles — 142 Squadron is incredibly proud!
