As a former ATC cadet, and a former ACLO at Abingdon and Manby, I would be surprised if ATC & CCF cadets did not venture onto this forum.

They, like all RAF personnel, are volunteers. They are members of those organisations because they want to be; not because they are forced into it. We should be grateful that so many are proud to wear RAF uniform from choice in today's world.

PS

During WW2 a Spitfire Sqn "Scramble" at Biggin Hill was made possible by ATC cadets whilst the Sqn groundcrew were at lunch.
