List of Air Training Corps squadrons The Air Training Corps ( ATC ) is a cadet organisation based in the United Kingdom . It is a voluntary youth group which is part of the Air Cadet Organization of the Royal Air Force . The ATC is largely composed of individual units known as squadron s . These squadrons are organised into several different Wings , which in turn are organised into several different Regions . Together the Regions make up the Corps . A searchable list of all ATC Squadrons by location and postcode providing Squadron and Wing contact details can be found at the Air Cadets ( ATC ) Squadron Finder . Founder Squadrons and Detached Flights . The first 50 squadrons formed have their squadron numbers followed by an F to show they are " founder " squadrons ( e . g . No 42F ( King ' s Lynn ) Squadron ) . Only 30 are still in existence , as the other 20 have disbanded over time . In towns not large enough to sustain a squadron of 30 cadets , or as a supplement to an existing squadron in a larger town or city , a Detached Flight may be formed . This operates much like any other unit , but is technically a component part of a nearby larger squadron . There are approximately 48 Detached Flights currentlyin being . They have their squadron numbers followed by the letters " DF " to show they are a detached flight . Central and East Region . Bedfordshire & Cambridgeshire . WHQ Cambridge Hertfordshire & Bucks .
