Welcome to all who are serving or have served on
7 SQUADRON, ROYAL AIR FORCE

The Association provides all members and ex-members of 7 Squadron, along with relatives or friends, with the opportunity of  joining the Association. 

Our aims are to maintain a link between current and former Squadron Members regardless of rank or status, to retain the Squadron spirit of pride and cameraderie enjoyed during Squadron Service and to perpetuate the memory of those Squadron members who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country whilst serving on the Squadron.  We also provide an archive service for persons seeking information on WWII Squadron Aircrew personnel.

Members benefit from the opportunity to join-in with an annual reunion,  a remembrance service at Longstanton Parish church (the Station Church of RAF Oakington) and to participate in the Annual National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in London.  We issue an Annual full-colour Newsletter every spring.

The Annual Association Reunion and AGM took  place at the Holiday Inn Impington Cambridge over the weekend 4/5/6th October 2024. 

We all joined on Friday in the Bar for a very enjoyable "Happy Hour" followed by an informal dinner in the bar.   On Saturday, with fine weather following early morning mist, we enjoyed the local area and facilities, then sitting for a pre-AGM drink in the sunny Hotel quadrangle.

Following the AGM we retired for a semi-formal Dinner and some hardy souls stayed chatting till well past midnight.  The following morning we remembered our Fallen Comrades at the Squadron Church at Longstanton where seven names of the Fallen were read.

2025 Reunion

Plans are afoot for the 2025 event to take place over the second weekend of October 2025 (tbc). The venue is the Holiday Inn, Impington, Cambridge.   The Hotel is ideally located for easy access from the A14 and within walking distance of Bus services from nearby Histon.
