On Sunday 08 November the squadron attended the Remembrance Parade at Dalgety Parish Church. We were joined by ex 859 cadet Matt Reid who is currently undergoing officer training at Britannia Royal Naval College. Cpl Jamie Graham laid a wreath at the War Memorial on behalf of 859 Squadron.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Blackburn Skua

During November our cadets were out and about in the local area collecting for Poppy Scotland. This included manning stands in Tesco and ASDA and collecting door to door. We were pleased to notice that some of the newest streets in Dalgety Bay are celebrating our rich military aviation heritage. A few examples are Skua Drive (Blackburn Skua) and Seafire Place (Supermarine Seafire) both aircraft that were once based at HMS Merlin.
