 Welcome to our site
This is the official homepage
of 2175 (Rolls-Royce) Squadron,
Air Training Corps.
The Air Training Corps is a national voluntary youth organization
designed to develop the qualities of young people. It is sponsored by the Royal
Air Force and provides challenging aviation, adventurous and community
activities.
The squadron motto is "Vindico
Exellentia" which means "To deliver excellence". This is what the
squadron delivers from each of its' cadets, young people aged 13 to 20. Our
crest features the phoenix rising from the flames which symbolises the
continued development and re-growth of a squadron which has served the local
community since 1947. Read our latest news stories here ...
Bag Packing
8 cadets completed a successful 2 day bag pack at our local Marks & Spencers
store in Braehead, raising £974.74. The money will be used to help purchase new squadron
T-shirts and jumpers in time for the Wing Athletics competition.

trophies were both won by Cpl Peter Hastie. Runner up was Cpl Stephen Kelly.
The Junior cadet of the year was Cdt John Porter and the Recruit of the year

PGL
Outward Bound
4 of our cadets joined 1089 squadron on an outward bound weekend. The cadets
enjoyed raftbuilding and canoeing.
Leuchars
Airshow
The squadron participated in a successful trip to the Leuchars Airshow in
September. Highlights included the Vulcan in flight and the Tornado display
(pictured).
Parachuting!
Cpl Peter Hastie successfully completed
the ATC parachuting course at RAF Weston-on-the-Green in July. After
extensive training and testing he was deemed competent enough to attempt a
static line jump from 3000ft. The course is open to all cadets above the age
of 16 and costs only £60! This includes all transport, accommodation, food,
training and the jump itself. This is a unique opportunity for air cadets
and we enjoyed your report. Well Done Cpl
Hastie!....Click
