Kenilworth Show Community Duty, 6 Jun 2026

-

Community Duties is one of 1368's key pillars. We managed to recreate a 2019 classic shot, with CI M back in the driving seat as 1368 revisited one of its classic community duties on Sat. Tis was a little wet, but nothing new, Sqn event shelter came in handy, cadets got some free food, and we got to show off our high vis livery.

AP818 - RAF Drill and Ceremonial Manual for Air Cadets

-
Last week, the cadets did some drill practice, partly in readiness for parades that are coming up, partly to give new prospective NCOs some experience "at the front" and also to sharpen up Squadron discipline. Drill is a powerful aid to discipline. It develops a sense of corporate pride, alertness, precision and readiness to obey orders instantly. Good drill in aircraft is directly fostered by the habit of drilling smartly on parade. Thus, smartness on parade is not only a sign of good discipline, but a basic factor in raising the standard of performance in duties. Back in the (really) old days, the Air Cadets used to have its own Air Cadet drill manual. Nowadays this is all gone. The RAFAC aligns wholly to the RAF Drill manual called AP818 .

The best place to find these forms for completion is via the main  https://www.bader.mod.uk/  landing page. Look for the Useful Resources section.  TG Forms are date-specific consents and require doing for each event where requested. Some parents will download the Word document and complete information that does not change once, and then print/sign with event specific details/dates, although when design this it's important to check the emergency contact details are correct for the period. It's not possible to accept these electronically at the moment, hence a wet signature version is expected, even if the rest of the details are typed in. The TG Form needs to be the latest (current V6.0). They are...
