Who Are We?

We're a military youth organisation who's a part of the Royal Air Force.
We're based in Richmond, North Yorkshire and are open every Tuesday and Thursday night.

Aviation

Being part of the RAF means that we can offer unique experiences in the world of aviation, not many people can say that they've flown a plane at the age of 13.

Training

We offer a comprehensive training system that teaches you skills that can applied both in and outside of the RAF, for example we offer several BTEC's.

Adventure

We're not always in the air, when we're on the ground we do a range of things from the Duke of Edinburgh to Sport to First Aid to Field Craft.

What do we do?

Our actvites range far and wide; Look below for a taste of what we do.

  • Plane

    Flying

    Mastering the skies

    We offer plenty of opportunities for cadets to take to the sky from experience flights to flying solo and working towards a pilots’ license

  • Cadets outdoors

    Field Craft

    Surviving in the outdoors

    We’re not just about flying, we’re happy to get out and learn about camouflage, concealment, cooking and more.

  • Cadets doing mapwork

    Map Reading

    Finding your way in the world

    We pride our selves on teaching skills that can be used outside of cadets as well, learning to read a map and how to follow a route are important skills.

  • Cadets on parade

    Drill

    Teaching discipline and teamwork

    Drill is all about timing, coordination and working together in a team. It’s also useful for any cadets wanting to join the forces.
