The Air Training Corps (ATC) is a youth organisation sponsored by the Ministry of Defence and the Royal Air Force. The majority of staff are volunteers although some are paid for full-time work. Although many ATC cadets go on to join the RAF or other services, the ATC is no longer set up as a recruiting organisation. Activities include sport, trekking, parade drill, rifle shooting, plane and glider flying and other outdoor activities, as well classification training leading up to a BTEC in Aviation Studies. Week-long trips to RAF stations, or camps offering adventure training or music, allow the opportunity for cadets to gain a taste of military life and often to gain some flying experience in RAF gliders and RAF training aircraft such as the Grob Tutor. Cadet membership can begin from the start of school Year 9 Northern Ireland. New members will join as a junior cadet (probationer) and can earn positions of increasing responsibility in a military rank structure, as well as having increasing skill and competence recognised in a classification scheme (First Class, Leading, Senior, Master and Instructor) . Service as a cadet ends at the age of 20.

🎉 Congratulations to Flight Sergeant Ella-Mae McCleary! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Flight Sergeant (FS) Ella-Mae McCleary on successfully completing her Gliding Scholarship this week at RAF Kirknewton.

Over the course of the week, Ella-Mae has demonstrated outstanding commitment, determination and enthusiasm, developing her flying skills while gaining invaluable aviation experience. This is a fantastic achievement and one that reflects the hard work and dedication she consistently shows both on and off the Squadron.

A massive thank you must also go to the fantastic team at 661 Volunteer Gliding Squadron for their professionalism, encouragement and dedication throughout the week. Opportunities like this simply wouldn't be possible without the time and commitment of the volunteer staff who inspire the next generation of aviators.

Well done, Ella-Mae—we're incredibly proud of you and look forward to seeing where your aviation journey takes you next! 👏✈️
