Hi

Does anyone have any pics or information about the ATC 31 years ago? !! I know its a long time but spent just about every weekend during the school holidays flying there. OC was a "George Crump" (Spelling??)'

Hey guys hope your all o.k :) Get some old photo's up either on here or on Facebook so I can remember the time i had with you guys :) xxx much love x

A wee word from Northern Ireland Wing just, we all thoroughly enjoyed the airshow at RAF Cosford and hope to be back next year.

I would like to thank all members of the squadron that took part in this years Wing Training Day competition. You all did the squadron and myself proud, even more so with the results. This years entry was the last for me as a CWO and to have achieved these results is a personal satisfaction but one that could not have been achieved without all the time and effort you all put in, so a personal thankyou to you all. A special thanks to the banner team who had to learn their routine as well as the standard drill team. I believe this years results showed the squadron come 3rd out of 21 squadrons that entered the drill competion and 3rd out of 22 squadrons that entered the smartest squadron. With another year of polish and experience amongst you who knows what you could achieve. Thank you also to the reserves of the competition and the cadets that turned up to support, team work is the key. Well done again!

Well done to everyone who got an award at Presentation evening. And don't worry people who didn't I'm sure you will next year.

Just thought id say well done to everyone who turned up to presentation evening, you all looked pretty smart! and you all were well behaved! See you all on Wednesdayxx

Hi, Well done to everyone who took part in Wing Athletics! And sorry i didn't carry on our 1st place on track! You all did the squadron proud! Wish i could have stayed to watch the finals :)

Just checking that it is still fancy dress for tonight ( 14th April 09). i dont want tot turn up looking an idiot... but it wouldnt be the first time!

Being an ex member i am still in the area and have spoke to your OC etc on Rememberance day 2007, I intend to visit on wed 27 with a new lad who wishes to join !

To all Cadets;
Remember that Wednesday 14th January is Ice Skating. Remember your consent forms!
Have a great time.

Hey guys!

Hope you all had a good start to the new year and a very merry christmas!

While i was in Fuerteventura, we went to the last remaining RAF station in Lanzarote during one of the tours we did! It was used by the RAF in the WW2! It's very shocking to see some of the base as you can still see some of damage it recieved during the war!
Very good to visit!
Meantioned it to people at the Office today when i went to get application forms for the RAF and the CPL i spoke to had been there and was stationed there for two years about 5 years ago! Very interessting to hear about it as its very close to the remaining active volcano!

Lisa

Happy New Yearrrrrr :D

Hope its a good 1 and it brings evry1 happiness :D


And Many Awards for the squadron

Well done to the 5-a-side football team and their efforts to win the Wing Cup. Sadly an appeal was raised by another sqn which revealed that there had been an error in the scores recording, which meant that we had to hand the cup back!! Ah well, such is life. Well played everyone!

Attention All Cadets:
Please remember to bring your Jersey with you to cadets each night. We will start to wear them as of the 1st October. Until then just bring it with you.

From this point any absence from the squadron has to be reported to either myself or Flying Officer Burgess prior to being away. Your absence will be logged in a absence book. Failure to inform either of us will result in a recording of an unauthorised absence. We can be informed in person at the squadron, by a phone call to the squadron on a parade night or an email to myself on the email address listed at the squadron. You each have the responsibility to do this yourself if you are going to be away, do not expect other cadets to just pass on the message to us.
Any questions on this matter just ask.

Many thanks.

I just want to say well done for the weekend, in the Aircraft recognition competition and the Shifnal RBL parade. This weekend we have a lot of things going on including football and the battle of britain parade. this is an important parade and its not a band parade either so please if u want to go put your names down.

Congratulations to all the members of the aircraft recognition team and particularly cadet Langton for winning the Wing team and individual competitions today. Thanks must also go to Mr Reoch for his sterling work in making it possible - a true team effort !
Thanks also to those cadets who paraded at Shifnal today, excellent effort, the band really sounded great (especially in the tunnel!!).

Congratulations to the Sqn Air Recognition Team (Cadets Reoch, Langton, Smitten and Ward) who today won the West Mercia Wing Air recognition competition. Also congratulations to Cadet Langton who won the Individual competition!
The team cup has been competed for 19 times before today and only won by 2 squadron previously, so this is a real win for 2497 Squadron, we are only the third Sqn to win the competition in 20 years! Well Done!

dk blues... remember waterproofs as it is slightly damp... ;)

We have six places for bronze and six places for silver. Those who wish to take part must attend ALL the training days. Will all intrested please make themselves know to me ASAP.

Hello to the new cadet from down south i believe and congratulations to R. Lofthouse on your recent promotion to FS.

******************************************************************

Evening all!!

I'd firstly like to apologise for my long absence, I hope you all haven't missed me too much. The reason for this is because I have my exams soon (fun) and also I'm moving house shortly so things are getting a bit hectic.

But rest assured folks your loveable sgt shall return!!

Secondly I would like to say well done to those people who got an award at presentation evening, sorry I couldn't be there.

FINALLY!!! Well done to the cadets who attended the parades, you've all done me proud ;) and a special mention must go to Cdt Langton....nice to see someone is following in my footsteps!

Ciao for now!

******************************************************************

The new email address I can be contacted on is:
cwo.2497@hotmail.co.uk

Hi to all.
I have created a new email address, so anyone can contact me with ATC related topics. If you are unsure of anything ie what uniform to wear or how to do your uniform you can contact me by email. I hope this will help you with ANY cadet related questions that you may have, in which you may be reluctant to openly post on the guestbook for all to see. Please remember to add your name to the email as it is unlikely i will recognise you from your email address.
Thanks.
P.S - It is nice to hear from you again Jen Harris, it would be nice to see you again, and if your circumstances have changed to see you back on the squadron as a cadet again as we have many new faces since you left.
- On that note anyone who has someone they now who may be interested in joining the squadron bring them along, but see myself or the boss before so we can make arrangements.

Hey Everyone!
Has Been a While..Hope Every Ones Doin Great
i Might Come 2 one Of The Parades one Of The Days To See How Your All Doing..Good Luck With Everything Your All Doing

Another great parade!
Many thanks to everyone who attended Market Drayton RBL Parade - another superb performance from one and all. Thanks too to Cdt Langton for taking the plunge and doing his first trumpet performance - on his own! Any worries anyone had were unfounded, a superb debut.
Thanks are also due to all at at Market Drayton RBL, not only for making us so welcome but also for the superb spread they provided.
Well, we got a mention in the Shropshire Star, no photo I'm afraid but never mind! I look forward to seeing Mr Reoch's photos on here.
Mnay thanks again to one and all.

First of all can I say how nice it is to see ex-cadets are still interested in the squadron and glad to hear that being a cadet (especially at Cosford) has stood them in good stead with their careers.
Secondly - well done everyone who was able to attend the St George's Day parade. Excellent turnout, losts of comments and thanks from the organisers and thanks to the band for doing such a good job! Keep up the good work and the practicing - looking forward to next Sun's parade being just as well attended and just as good - if not better!
Thanks again everyone.

See you on Friday 14th March, swimming thank god i didnt miss it.

CPL Warren Jones {2497 Cosford}

I'm so pleased of the turnout we are getting each week but I'm sure we could do with a few more cdts 2 fill up the main hall so get onto your friends to join tell them how fun it is.
want to say congrats to CWO Preston on gettin CWO his gold wings & DofE and all of tutor flight who have passed their exams see you all on friday xxx sarah

Well done to the cadets who flew at Cosford at the weekend. Many of you enjoyed a few aerobatics as well.

Anyone know any good jokes?

Rifling was great fun!

Great Stuff ! I really like all the new pictures on the website !!!

4 things to mention
1 - We have at last got our latest construction plan finished (you'll know what I mean) and authorised, so I look forward to getting to use it on a regular basis - just needs item 2 to be complete first.
2 - The floor in the main hall is nearly finished. it looks really smart and just needs some final touches before we can start using the hall again. For those of you who haven't seen it, being blue it looks (and sounds) more like a swimming pool than ever - and just as big!
3 - Congratulations to CWO Preston on getting his gold wings and his invitation to St James' Palace to receive his gold DoE Award
4 - Well done and thank you to everyone who attended the ATC Sunday Service today. Shame we had to cancel the parade itself due to the weather but better than getting really cold and wet marching down the High St! Excellent turnout by one and all.

hi every1, just 2 let u know the people that were coming to the lecture theater at lunch time to help out Cpl Hannay, well its been cancelled because the weather is so bad we have to leave early so, DONT BRING YOUR UNIFORM TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy new year 2 u all. Come on everyone and get those 100 clubs in, we need all the support we can get, because the more money we raise the more fun the cadets can have.
See Flt Sgt McKeon or Cdt McKeon for more information.
Thank-You !!

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well. As you probably all know, i left on friday night (21st Dec) it was very sad to say goodbye after five years but it was time to move on for various reasons, needless to say it was a very hard decision to make! I just want to say thank you to all the cadets who i have worked with over the past five years, you are a great bunch of people who i'm sure will go far. A big thanks goes out to the staff, i think they do a great job and without them we wouldn't have had a squadron. Finally i would like to say thank you to all the NCO team, you have been great, a special thanks to CWO Preston, my best mate over the last five years and went up the ranks together apart from the last one, congratulations on CWO you definately deserve it! Good luck to you all, keep in touch, try your hardest and you will make yourselves proud.

thankyou to mrs langton for getting the website up and runing again id thought we would never see it gain lol after it had been neglected or soooo long. Anyway just to say well done to everyone at the sqn for achieving NCO status u all know who u r. lets just start looking forward 2 2008 with many more competions and parades to take aprt in. keep the team work goin and all ur uniform sparkling every night and u neva knw what might happen. Well done to CWO Preston for getting his rank a few weeks ago ur really deserved it. Lets just keep the SQN numbers up, and just bring all your friends along to see what were all about.
btw Happy christmas!

Hi everyone! You will be pleased to know that the website (and this forum) are back up and running again! Please bear with me as I am getting to know this site - you might have seen the December Newsletter under General Sqn info... Please let me know what you think and pass on any ideas and suggestions as to what you would like to see on the site. If you have any really good photos from recent Sqn activities I will do my best to incorporate them. In the mean time let everyone know that the website is back in business!!

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all the Cadets who know us, have a good one.

people who got to fly in the helecopter last weekend were lucky

Evening all.
I've been viewing this, the board of my old ATC Sqd for some time. Its nice to see its still going strong, but sad to see familiar faces leaving. I've seen that you've moved and have left the 'old' hut now, hope all is well with that.
For those of you that remember me - I'm ex Flt Sgt Blakemore, i was in the Squadron from 07/97 to 06/03. 6 years of my life i will never forget and that have helped me recently on my application to OASC Cranwell where i have now been accepted as an Officer for ATCO and start IOT in November. My thanks go out to all the staff that made ATC SO enjoyable for me and the camaraderie of fellow cadets.
*To all current cadets - you are part of a great organization that can give you opportunities that very few others can. Make the most of it! I did and am glad of it.
Steve Blakemore

hello i aint seen any of u 4 a while im comin soon love you xxxxxx

A BIG BIG THANK YOU to all cadets and staff at the Sqn for all your sentiments and good wishes. Matt and I would like to thank all the staff for their support and cadets for all the stress(only kidding)over the past 6 years. We will miss you all terribly.

Matt and I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the Cadets and staff of the Sqn for the wonderful leaving gift you presented us with.
For those of you who have not yet signed our leaving card we will leave it untill Friday evening so everyone will get the chance to sign it (if you want to)who was not there. You may need to write it in text style as we have run out of room as Flt Sgt Lofthouse wrote a War and Peace episode on it! Bless her!!
Sorry my speech was a little blubbery but we have been with the Sqn 6years, and we are going to miss you all terribly!
Anyway thats all for now.

Need too say some "thank you"s
Those who went to athletics on Sun - well done, some good results there!
Those who joined us for the St George's Day Parade at Whitchurch. - We weren't many, but we did a grand job!
Those who attended Weston Park - It may have been hot and it may have been hard work over a long period but I think we all enjoyed it, even the burgers!!!
And finally
Those 2 people who we made the presentation to on Weds, the Sgts Holmes. It was with great sadness that we heard the news that they were off to pastures new. Both Sandra and Matt have put a terrific amount into the squadron and I mentioned a few items last night that they have worked so hard on but I know I missed some, so here goes again:-
Section visits, Low ropes, swimming, gym, RTP flying, Air Day, Sqn move, transport, parties, more parties, 1st aid, training, exams, drill, discip, lessons, R/C flying, modelling, films, photography, web site, computing, numerous off-sqn activities, parades, Station liaison, mail, . . . . the list goes on so I'd better stop! Oh there was one other thing, something to do with historical buildings, now, what was it, began with a C, let me think, ends with an N!!!!!!!

heyaaaaa!!!!! well done 2 evry1 who went to the band and athletics on sun!!!! hpe u all did well. just writing to say, all those cadets who have a bebo accout, i have made a band for 2497cosford. i think its mint!!! leave comments and if you want some pictures on it email them to me or SGT plant and we will put them on there for you. hpe to see all your faces on it one day. loadsa love loz xxxxx

Hello Cdts, it is a growing problem that cadets don't have other cadets mobile numbers.. So all us new cadets need to ask for each others number, and when there is a problem like today, we can get to the problem and solve it.
Thanks! And well done to all the runners and athletes in todays athletics,

sorry i was there on friday, i was at the NIA ! the vist to AvTS Cosford to see how RADAR works was great. Can someone comfirm the times for the parade on sunday people ? thanks

hi ya all! how is everyone? hope all its ok ur squadron looks like they are doing loads more than they use to so hope you are all having fun, last week i watch the old hut be taken apart it was emotional haha! (well not really just interesting lol)

well best go bye bye

Sport on Friday;
Drop off at Cosford 09.00.
Pick up approx 16.30.
These times are liable to change so I would advise all cadets who are down for sport to call the Sqn on Friday if they aren't going to be there to confirm drop off /pick up times.
Don't forget to bring a packed lunch.

i would just like to say thankyou to Sgt Holmes' for aranging the trip to AvTS it was really good, i think a few people were starting to get very interested in it! thankyou very muc for everything you have done on an for the squadron we will miss you very much! we all love you and will keep in contact with you regularly.
lots of love xx sarah xx

ASgt Holmes replies- Thank you Sarah, and to everyone on the Sqn. Matt and I have enjoyed being on the Sqn for the past 6years and will miss you all terribly. We are glad that you have enjoyed the activities we have arranged for you and wished we could have done more. Not even sure if I want to carry on when I leave, it just won't be the same without you lot!!

Cheers for all who came to weston park on the weekend, it was such relief having some relief as last time we only had about 5 cadets =]

Hey, The approbation parade was great... well done everyone who was involved! Other activities should be just as good.

Well done to all those who participated in the Approbation Parade on Saturday.Unfortunatley it will be my last official parade before we leave, but I wanted to say I was proud to march with you as I always am, you did, as usual, the Sqn and yourselves proud.

hi, jst want to say the parade in Albrighton was good today well done everyone who turned up !!!!

With Drums Beating and Band Playing
A big thank you to everyone who took part in the Approbation Parade today (24 March), especially our newer members. The band sounded really good and both drill and deportment were 2nd to none. To top it all, we made the front page and page six of the Shropshire Star. Those of you from the East side of Cosford, anything in the Express and Star?
Well done everyone once again.

Hey everyone, just want to say a huge thankyou to all the people who attended the approbation parade in Albrighton today! Considering only 12 of us were there, we made a big impact, and as usual everyone had only good comments to pass on. Thankyou all, see you soon.

Those cadets who helped put up 12x12 at Shawbury will be pleased to know that Sgt Holmes(major) has managed to arrange flying at Shawbury on April 4th.
He will be taking names of those cadets who can go on Wed night.

heya just wanna say canoeing last nyt was ace!!! loved it brought back so many memories :D just wanna say a big thank u to the SGT Holme's for organising it. u will b missed when u go. cya all on fri. load of lv loz xxxx

sports night was fun (my first night) canoeing should be just as fun

sports night in the RAF gym was great !

Race Night on 17th Feb was a great success and raised around £500. Many thanks to all cadets, parents and staff who attended, with particular thanks to Mrs Coates for organising the evening, and to the ladies who provided the buffet.
It was most enjoyable taking money off people for the tote but paying out the winnings did hurt!
Congratulations to the 2 people who successfully bid for the ballooning and flying tickets - enjoy.
To Fg Off Burgess - Too much of the brown stuff can be bad for you, the rest of the staff will help you out if required!

Cold War Exhibition
Cadets and staff were privileged to be invited to attend the official opening of addition to the Museum at Cosford in the presence of HRH Princess Ann, Baroness Thatcher and a huge number of senior officers.
The cadets acquitted themselves exceptionally well and we received many comments on smartness, personability and a "job well done".
Many thanks to all who attended, a credit to the Squadron and the Corps, as always!
Pictures and further details will be added to the web site soonest.
