Welcome...

Welcome to the website of 2499 (Wokingham) Squadron, Air Training Corps.
If you are currently a member of the Squadron then I hope you will find the
site useful and informative. If you are looking for an ATC Squadron then we
hope it will recommend us to you.
2499 has been in Wokingham since the late 1960’s, firstly as a Detached Flight
before making Squadron status in 1971. The years have passed quite quickly for us
as we continue to provide young men and women with practical training which we hope
will be useful in later life. Our mission mirrors the motto of the Air Training
Corps: "Venture, Adventure".
Activities range from academic training for the BTEC in Aviation Studies to Outdoor
Pursuits such as rock climbing. The opportunity exists for cadets over 16 to fly a
motor glider solo after the requisite training and therefore "put their wings up".
There is no obligation to join the Royal Air Force but many Air Cadets do go on to
do so, finding their ATC training useful during their Basic Service Training.
If you have any questions or suggestions about the site then please email webmaster@2499atc.org.
