Air Cadets living around the local area of Cambourne can now undergo
their cadet activities closer to home. Cadets and staff situated near
Cambourne are now able to parade locally at the Cambourne Sports
Pavilion after six months of having to travel ten miles every Monday and
Wednesday just to be a part of an Air Cadet Squadron.

2484 Bassingbourn Squadron – parent squadron of Cambourne Detached
Flight (DF) – proved a warm and welcoming temporary home, albeit a
distant one for the 24 cadets. Over the course of their stay, Cambourne
Cadets integrated into the Bassingbourn numbers and participated in a
huge range of activities ranging from rifle shooting to flying, with
friendships being forged throughout.

Cambourne is not unfamiliar ground for the cadets as they have attended
events in that local area such as the Cambourne fest, working together
to promote their cause and help the community. The detached flight will
remain a valued part of Bassingbourn squadron and will increase the
opportunities available to young people in the area.

Cambourne DF are currently recruiting young people between the ages of
13 and 17 years old. They meet on Mondays and Wednesdays between 6.45pm
and 9.45pm. For more information please visit our website and
