Combined Squadron Road Marching at 182 Squadron!!
​Fantastic day Road Marching with Rochdale, Heywood, and Congleton RAF Air Cadet squadrons. The weather set an additional challenge, but it only proved how well cadets with good RMTLs can look after one another. Great momentum from start to finish.
​Proud of the sheer determination, 24 cadets certainly earned their Blue Road Marching Badges.
A brief note of thanks to The Higher Irlam Social Club and Manchester Barton Aerodrome. Our cadets were incredibly grateful for the chance to take a well-earned rest at your venues.

Today marks the 85th Anniversary of the formation of the Air Training Corps (ATC), which was created on 5th February 1941 after the Royal Warrant was signed by His Late Majesty King George VI, being born out of its predecessor the Air Defence Cadet Corps (ADCC).

The modern RAF Air Cadets (RAFAC) combines the ATC with the RAF Sections of the Combiner Cadet Force (CCF) as one Blue Family!
