Welcome to the website for 1384 (Askern)squadron

Welcome to the 1384 (Askern) Squadron web site.  Contained within these pages you will find information about the Squadron, the Air Training Corps. and a bit about what we do.

What Do Air Cadets Do?

You name it, there is a good chance there is an Air Cadet somewhere doing it!

The Squadron's aim's to provide a stimulating, exciting and varied training program which ensures that all cadets achieve their full potential.  We meet twice a week during which cadets are able to take part in may activities, as well as planning for additional ones.  Addition activities are organised by South and West Yorkshire Wing and beyond by North Region and the Corps. These can take place at RAF Stations, camps and even abroad. These tend to be a longer than just a weekend, but the cadets get a lot out of it.
