Insight Winter 25/26
As the winter months come to a close, I am delighted to be writing my first foreword as Station Commander of RAF Waddington. It is a genuine privilege to take up this appointment, and I am immensely proud to join a Station with such a distinguished operational heritage and an outstanding reputation across Defence. From my earliest days in post, I have been struck by the professionalism, warmth, and determination of the people who make this Station what it is. I am very happy to be here and honoured to serve alongside you all.
RAF Waddington continues to deliver exceptional operational output in support of the UK and interests worldwide. Whether generating intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance effects, enabling reach-back support, or sustaining those deployed at short notice, the Station remains at the forefront of operational excellence. The commitment shown across all squadrons, units, and supporting functions ensures that we provide Defence with credible, responsive capability whenever and wherever it is required.
This edition of Insight highlights not only our operational successes but also the strength of our community. I particularly enjoyed the Christmas Dinner hosted on Station for the families of those deployed over the festive period. While operations do not pause for the holidays, it was heartening to see our community come together to support families and ensure they felt valued and connected during what can be a challenging time. That spirit of care and cohesion is one of RAF Waddington’s greatest strengths.

Cosford Apprentice - Spring 2026
As we welcome the spring edition of the Apprentice Magazine, I am pleased to reflect on a period of progress, celebration and shared success across RAF Cosford. This edition showcases the energy, professionalism and commitment that continue to define our apprentice community and the wider Station.
I hope you enjoy this edition and share my pride in the talent, passion and professionalism displayed throughout. My thanks go to everyone who contributed, participated and continues to represent RAF Cosford with such dedication.
