Frequently Asked Questions
When do you parade?
We parade every Monday and Wednesday (excluding bank holidays) from 19:00 - 21:30.
How much does it cost?
We pride ourselves on keeping costs accessible to everybody, so we charge £12.50 per month.
We generally hold two intakes per year — the first is usually mid-September, and the second is at the beginning of February.
Dates change slightly every year, but contact us to join the waiting list and we can inform you of dates.
When can I join?
How do I join?
You can either contact us via our email: oc.163@rafac.mod.gov.uk or via our contact form on our Join us as a Cadet page.
We'll add you to our waiting list, and give you details of the next intake.
How much time do I put in?
Typically, cadets attend the squadron twice a week for 2½ hours a night. Outside of these evenings, there are many activities to do, both in weekends and in the school holidays. The amount of time a cadet wants to commit to is up to them.
What do you do?
We get to go flying in aircraft, shoot, go skiing, and everything in-between. You can find out more about what we do here.
