1279 SQUADRON ATC

Welcome to the 1279 Sqn website

1279 Squadron has been in Melton Mowbray for many years allowing the young people of the Town to experience adventure with an aviation flavour. The opportunities that the Air Cadet Organisation offers are vast - Flying, Gliding, Camping, First Aid ... the list is long!

Whether you are thinking of joining, are currently a cadet or been a past cadet this website is a resource for you all: Browse and see what we do, register as a cadet and join the forum, or catch up with old friends.



The squadron is based on Asfordby Road and is open to 13 to 19 year olds. We parade twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (19:00hrs to 21:15hrs). The calendar shows what events are planned on each evening along with the uniform to be worn. You will also see that it's not just two nights a week! There are plenty of other activies organised during the weekends - browse the website to see more details. Alternatively you can visit the Squadron during parade evenings, give us a call on 0798 914 2234 (during parade evening times), or email one of the staff to discuss your questions further (see the contact page for emails).
