About the ATC

Hello – and welcome to the official website of No.220 (St Albans) Squadron Air Training Corps.

The Air Training Corps (ATC) is a major national youth organisation, with around 1,000 units across the UK.

We are the unit serving St Albans and the surrounding area and we currently have over 40 cadets, aged from 13-19.

The ATC operates in communities alongside the Combined Cadet Force (RAF Section) which operates in schools.

Collectively we form the Air Cadet Organisation, which is commanded by a senior Royal Air Force officer and has its headquarters at Royal Air Force College Cranwell.

Our squadron is part of Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire Wing ATC, which in turn is part of Central and East Region. We often take part in competitions and events with members of our fellow Squadrons within these areas.

Hopefully this website will provide you with a good overview of the activities and opportunities that we offer – and it is the broad and varied range of what we do that really sets us apart from all the other youth groups out there.

We are always looking for new cadets to join our ranks, so if you are interested in getting involved then please do follow the “Contacts” link and get in touch. And if you have any questions about us then we would love to hear from you too.
