1146 (Barnstaple) Squadron Air Training Corps

1146 (Barnstaple) Squadron Air Training Corps We are a Uniformed Youth Organisation based in Barnstaple for young people aged 12-19. Cadets can join between the ages of 12 (once in year 8) and 16.

Our training covers a broad range of topics - both aviation and non-aviation themed. Want to join?
1146 Squadron is based in Barnstaple, North Devon but our North Devon "Sector" includes units in Bideford, Chivenor, Hatland and Tiverton. Cadets and adult volunteers all gain the same experience where you can make lasting friendships and build upon your confidence, skills and achievements. Cadets mu

st be in year 8 at school (or equivalent if home schooled) and 12 yrs or older to join. A person can not join after their 18th birthday. If you've made it to this page then you're probably looking for a challenge; something to bring out what you're really capable of. Well, Air Cadets is where you get to prove it - you may even surprise yourself with what you can achieve. If you are male or female, between 13 and 18 then you are eligible to join. Volunteers
If you're aged over 20 you can volunteer. There is no need for military experience or any form of previous training. We're just looking for suitable, enthusiastic individuals to help our cadets get the most from their time with us. There are opportunities for roles as Civilain Instructors and uniformed staff. Parents
We’re committed to ensuring that all our activities are safe, well organised and that our members gain a structured and invaluable experience. There are some costs associated with joining - we make an initial charge as a deposite for uniform issue. This is currently £20.00, refundable when a cadet leaves. There is a subscription charge of £25.00 per quarter, payable in advance. Most activities, including flying and shooting are free, but there are small charges for accommodation at annual and adventure training camps. Overseas camps normally require a contribution to cover transport so can be more expensive.

Here’s a bit of a roundup from our last few months;

The cadets from 1146 (Barnstaple) SQN having getting out and about in the area.

In the last few months we’ve had a trip to Rock and Rapids for some Rock Climbing, a trip to Exmoor Search and Rescue to see their operations and what they do, our cadets training for the Exmoor Youth Challenge and our very own Sergeant Schofield completing the RAF 2 Day 80km Marches at RAF Cosford and earning his silver road marching badge
As well as much more!

We are all very proud of how our cadets are doing and working towards more activities and opportunities for them to get involved with and earning new badges and qualifications all the time 🙌🏻👊🏼👏

Go Team 1146!!!
