Welcome to 871 (Penn) Squadron ATC
The Air Training Corps is a military youth organisation for young people aged 12 to 20. It is varied, occasionally demanding but, above all, fun! The activities we provide run from flying to shooting to fieldcraft and the teamwork and camaraderie that is so much a part of ATC life often results in lifelong friendships. We think it's the best way for young people to expand their horizons and learn skills that will stand them in good stead for the future.
In recent years, the squadron has progressed significantly and we are aiming to develop still further. With around forty young men and women currently on the squadron strength, and with some notable achievements in recent times, 871 (Penn) Squadron is in the ascendancy.
871 (Penn) Squadron is still recruiting. Please feel free to contact us or to peruse the website for more information.
