Welcome to National Cadet Week! We are London & South East Region Royal Air Force Air Cadets – bringing together cadets and volunteers from across London, Kent, Middlesex, Surrey and Sussex. We're part of a nationwide youth organisation giving young people the opportunity to do things they might never have imagined. ✈️ Flying 🏕️ Adventure Training 🩹 First Aid 🎯 Shooting 🥾 Fieldcraft 🏅 Sport 🎺 Music 🧭 Leadership 🤝 Community & Volunteering …and much more. But being an Air Cadet is about more than the activities. It's about building confidence, friendships, leadership, teamwork and skills for life – while having some incredible experiences along the way. Throughout National Cadet Week, we'll be introducing you to our cadets, celebrating the volunteers who make it possible, showing how we support our communities and giving you a glimpse of what being part of the RAF Air Cadets is really like. Five Wings. One Region. Thousands of opportunities. This is who we are. 💙 Follow us throughout the week to discover more.

Soaring High at Windemere!

London Wing Cadets tackle Adventure Training Camp at Windermere this week.

Cadets and CFAVs from London Wing attending an Adventure Training Camp in Windermere undertook a programme of outdoor activities in the heart of the Lake District. Decent conditions rewarded activities including hill walking, mountain navigation, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, climbing and other team-based challenges. Throughout the camp, cadets will develop their confidence, leadership, teamwork and resilience while learning practical outdoor skills in a challenging but enjoyable environment. It is also a fantastic opportunity to experience some of the Lake District’s spectacular scenery, make new friends and take part in activities they may not normally get the chance to try.

New OC London Wing Confirmed

New OCLW Appointed by Region HQ

The Regional Commandant of London & South-East Region is delighted to announce the appointment of Wing Commander (Designate) Anthony Barker as Officer Commanding London Wing, effective from 13th of September 2026. Wing Commander (Designate) Barker succeeds Wing Commander Cameron Braddy-Green who has successfully led the Wing for the last 4 years. I would like to place on record my sincere thanks for their leadership and huge personal commitment to London Wing during their tenure. Leading one of RAFAC's largest and most diverse Wings is a significant responsibility, and I am grateful for their dedication to our cadets and volunteers. Anthony's RAF Air Cadet journey began in 1996 as a cadet at 444 (Shoreditch) Squadron, where he progressed to Cadet Warrant Officer before returning as an adult volunteer and eventually Officer Commander after receiving his commission in 2010. Since then, he has served at squadron level as OC 12F (Walthamstow & Leyton) Squadron, wing level as Media & Communications, and Shooting Officer and regional level as Media & Engagement officer. Throughout his service, Anthony has demonstrated a strong commitment to developing volunteers, strengthening communication and creating opportunities that enhance the cadet experience. His collaborative leadership style, combined with his understanding of London Wing and its people, make him exceptionally well placed to lead the Wing into its next chapter. On accepting the appointment, Wing Commander (Designate) Barker said: "It is an immense privilege to have been selected to lead London Wing. Having spent my entire RAF Air Cadets journey serving London in one form or other and I am honoured to have the opportunity to support our volunteers and cadets in this role. I look forward to working with our dedicated teams to build on the Wing's strengths and ensure we continue to provide outstanding opportunities for every cadet."
