Joined by our colleagues from 1156 (Whitley Bay) Squadron, we've had a fantastic evening discovering the history of what is the oldest and one of only three remaining active volunteer life brigades left in the UK, as well as touring the TVLB's museum and getting the chance to handle some of the original 19th Century rescue and other equipment. Thanks to the TVLB crew for welcoming us to their watch house and enthralling us with their stories of past heroics and little known facts about an important part of Tynemouth's maritime history.

This weekend Ms Charlie Mole added another string to her bow by completing the GB Archery Instructors course along with other volunteers from around our Wing, in doing so she has allowed Archery to be a more accessible activity to our Cadets and we can’t wait to see her put her new qualification to work at the Squadron! 346 Squadron is always looking for new volunteers to join our Adult Staff Team, so if gaining new qualifications and sharing your skills with our Cadets sounds like it might be for you, please get in touch!

We'd like you to meet our updated Squadron Crest, the new Crest maintains the history and design of its predecessor with the RAF Eagle carrying the Shield and Crowns that make up the Tynemouth Coat of Arms.
