Klingon BC,
Further to Audax's comments on Syerston, FYI, The Air Cadet Organisation, (ACO) which incorporates both the ATC and CCF (RAF), IS actually part of the RAF, albeit not the operational arm of course.
HQ Air Cadets (at Cranwell) is administered through No.22 (Training) Group, AOC 22 Gp is also AOC Air Cadets, and Commandant Air Cadets is a regular Air Cdre.
The Air Cadets Central Gliding School at Syerston (via Wg Cdr Fg at HQ AC) is commanded by a regular Wg Cdr, and the Chief Instructor is a regular Sqn Ldr. Understand that Syerston itself is administered as part of RAFC, it certainly used to commonly be referred to as "RAF Syerston", but more correctly as "RAFC Cranwell Syerston Detatchment" (that is what used to be on the gate).
Just like to clear up misconceptions - minor bugbear of mine you understand!
Cheers,
