PARADES

 

ATC SUNDAY

 

Each year the RAF Air Cadets marks the anniversary of the issue of the Royal Warrant by King George VI formally creating the Air Training Corps on 5th February 1941. This anniversary is observed in the form of a parade and service on the Sunday closest to the 5th February known as ATC Sunday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARMED FORCES DAY

 

In support of our parent organisation, the Royal Air Force, and the other Armed Forces the Wing takes part in the Armed Forces Day parades.

 

The largest Armed Forces Day parade in the Wing area is normally the parade in Plymouth held on The Hoe.

 

In 2023 the National Armed Forces Day event was held in Falmouth. In support to RAF St Mawgan the Wing paraded over 90 cadets and staff.
