Introduction to 150 Squadron
Welcome to the web site of 150 (City of Oxford) Squadron Air Training Corps (ATC), the area’s largest and best equipped Cadet Unit. We are a large and friendly squadron run by a dedicated staff team. Unlike some other youth organisations we have high standards and expect a lot from our cadets… we give a lot in return though… For more information take a look at our prospectus, fill in the joining form or pay us a visit.
Have you got what it takes?
If so we’ll see you on the parade square!
Air Training Corps Aims
We run and active and demanding program of activities in accordance with the three core aims of the ATC:
- To promote and encourage among young people a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force.
- To provide training which will be useful in both the Services and civilian life.
- To foster the spirit of adventure and develop qualities of leadership and good citizenship.
Visit to Bicester Gliding Club
The Air Cadet Organisation offers cadets opportunities to fly and glide. However, for cadets in Thames Valley Wing, the opportunities to glide are delivered by 612 VGS who fly motor-gliders. For many gliding enthusiasts, a touring motor-glider is a poor substitute for the small light and entirely silent pure gliders such as the viking. The take-off run of a vigilant is smooth and similar to the take-off run of a tutor. A winch launch is very different. When Plt Off Christlieb met a member of Bicester Gliding Club during the Blenheim Triathlon he grabbed the chance and two months later the squadron borrowed a minibus and set-off for Bicester Airfield.

Learning to Parachute
While the Air Cadets always make you wear a parachute to fly, they have so far never had anyone use one. Never one to resist a challenge, Cdt Harris decided to throw himself out of a perfectly functional aircraft. (Ed.)

While six of our cadets went to RIAT to work, some of us dropped in on the Sunday to watch and enjoy. (Ed.)
