Think being in the RAF Reserves is all about good old square bashing, polishing uniforms and learning how to shoot a rifle?
Think again! You can go off and have fun around the world even when you’re not “working” AND whilst you’re having having all this fun you’re being PAID!!!
Want an example? How about a trip to Norway?

What about mountain biking in the Scottish Borders? (some pictures below)
Adventurous training to warmer climates such as scuba diving in Malta or biking and hiking in Malaysia (https://www.facebook.com/pg/603sqn/photo s/?tab=album&album_id=20483539152152 46) are also available. And these are paid too!
These are open to all Reservists - no matter what their RAF role is.
Come on, join us and enjoy life even more!
Gin ye daur!

At approximately 13.40pm on Wednesday 5 June, more than 35 Douglas DC-3/C-47s will take to the skies from Imperial War Museum Duxford.
Escorted by a number of World War II fighters, they will set course for Caen-Carpiquet Airport in Normandy. The planned flight will pass Colchester, Southend-on-Sea, Maidstone and Eastbourne before heading out over The Channel.
They will pass Le Havre and then the historic UK Drop Zone at Ranville, where the skies will be filled with paratroopers jumping round military parachutes, as they descend in honour of the troops who did the same 75 years ago.

This morning the Squadron was pleased to invite members of the 603 Squadron Association, RAF Association and other veterans to a breakfast morning at their beautiful building in Edinburgh.
The HQ staff served tea and coffee and, of course, bacon rolls to those who turned up and gave them a chance to visit to the historic HQ - a glorious Victorian building right in the heart of the New Town.
The purpose of the day was an opportunity for everyone who attended to meet new peopl...e and chat about they own RAF experiences, as well as have a short presentation on the history of the squadron and the building itself.
Keep an eye out for details of the next veterans breakfast!
