I look forward to welcoming you as a member of the country's premier uniformed youth organisation, the Air Training Corps.

Air Cadets aged 13 to 18 are given the chance by our team of staff and adult volunteers to learn to fly aerobatics, learn skills to lead expeditions, tour foreign countries, compete in sporting competitions, become target shooting marksman, join a band, learn about aviation and aerospace, gain BTec awards, Duke of Edinburgh Awards, attend camps and courses in the UK and beyond- only a small list of the many activities and opportunities for an enviable social life with many new friends.

Our Aims

The aims of the Air Training Corps are:

  •   To promote and encourage among young men and women a practical interest in aviation and the
      Royal Air Force.
  •   To provide training which will be useful in both the services and civil life.
  •   To foster the spirit of adventure.
  •   To develop the qualities of leadership and good citizenship.
For further information on joining as a cadet, please go to the Squadron Locations for the unit nearest to your home address, where you will find the relevant contact details.

If you would like to offer help as an instructor, please contact Squadron Leader John Powell at the Wing Headquarters' address.
