Call Directions Website Contact the organisation

305 (Ashford) Squadron Royal Air Force Air Cadets 305 (Ashford) Squadron is an Air Training Corps (Air Cadets) unit, based in Ashford, Kent. Parade nights Mondays & Thursdays 19:00 - 21:30 Aged between 13 & 17?

The Air Training Corps is the RAF's cadet force, with more than 40,000 members aged between 13 and 20 years, attending 900+ Squadrons all over the UK. The three aims of the Air Training Corps are:


1. To promote and encourage among young men and women a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force.
2. To provide training which will be useful both in the Services and in civil life.
3. To encourage the spirit of adventure and to develop the qualities of leadership and good citizenship. We are not a recruiting organisation for the RAF but if you're thinking about a Service career, cadet membership will put you ahead of the competition. Many cadets go on to great success in the RAF (and the other Services). In fact: around 40% of officers and 50% of all aircrew (including pilots, navigators and engineers) in the RAF now are ex-cadets. Research shows that they do better in basic training and stay in the Service longer than their colleagues. Likewise, if you chose a civilian career our research proves you can go on the great things… employers just love the skills and experience that Air Cadets offer. Up for something exciting, challenging and new? We're recruiting now! PARADE NIGHTS - MONDAYS & THURSDAYS 19:00 - 21:30
WEDNESDAYS BAND PRACTICE 19:00 - 21:00

Cadets from 305 Sqn had a hands on evening last week putting up tents and discussing fieldcraft tactics!
We will say we think they could do with a little more practice, but as a whole they did very well!
