On the 5th February 1941 the Air Training Corps was officially established with King George VI as the Air Commodore-in-Chief and there has been a presence in the Borders ever since. The organisation has gone from strength to strength over the last few decades. Girls were able to join from the early 1980s, helping to bring more people together to enjoy everything that Air Cadet Life has to offer and today’s Air Cadets has a lot to offer any 12- 17 year old who is interested in joining.

Today the Air Cadets is one of the largest youth related organisations in the UK. 2180 is one of the most successful Squadrons in South East Scotland Wing.

2180, other youth groups and the Legion supported Galashiels Academy remembrance service on 7 Nov. Afterwards the students created a remembrance garden with a cross for each of the fallen in World War 1 from Galashiels. Some of the 639 crosses are shown; you can see more photos on Gala Academy's facebook page. We would have liked to have a banner bearer from one of the students but alas we are lacking cadets from there at the moment . Come on students of Gala Academy - where is everybody?

1 Apache hung around on Lees Haugh for a long while waiting for 3 more. They all went upriver, soon after returning and loitering before heading off south. At the same time other helio, believed to be Wildcat, were noted south of Duns

Summer can now be classed as officially over - at least going by the weather! Cadets have been out and about on summer camps, which included flying in light aircraft, laser games, police riot training, parties and visits to museums, national arboretum and tours of RAF bases, gaining radio communication and leadership badges . Other activities over the last few months have included a helicopter flight in a Chinook, winning the inter-squadron aircraft recognition competition, taking part in inter-squadron swimming competition and assisting at East Fortune air display.
Would you like to be a part of it all? https://www.raf.mod.uk/aircadets/ gives more info or you can mail this page.

In April 3 of our cadets represented the Sqn at the inter-squadron athletics. Anine and Lewis have just represented the Wing and done well. Lewis is to represent the Region later in the year.

Command Task - Build a free standing structure on either side of the river to transport equipment. Cadets did an extraordinary job and came up with a pulley system to move equipment. #Team2180.
