ATC Sunday

Yesterday, our cadets took part in the annual ATC Sunday Parade, with 2026 marking the 85th Birthday of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets, with this ceremony being held at St George's Church in Stockport.

It consisted of a lively church service, in which all cadets commited to the Promise, and some prayers to keep us going through our journeys. Following on we marched along the A6, capturing the public's eyes with our blue uniforms.

A massive thank you to the 10 cadets that came to represent squadron, and the Wing in this awesome parade!
