ATC Sunday marks the founding of our organisation, which has been shaping young lives and fostering a love for aviation for over 83 years. Staff and cadets from 2166 (Hamilton) Squadron were smartly turned out for a West of Scotland Wing church service in Giffnock to commemorate the event.

From its humble beginnings, the ATC has grown into a force for positive change, providing countless young people with valuable skills, leadership training, and unforgettable experiences in the world of aviation.

To all past and present cadets, officers, and supporters of the ATC, thank you for your dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence. Here's to the next chapter of inspiring the next generation of aviators and leaders!
