733 Squadron, ATC

Fab day at RAF Leeming this week for our first AEF of 2024! #team733

🥳 Happy birthday to us! 🥳 Today marks the 83rd anniversary of the formation of the Air Training Corps (ATC). On 5 February 1941, with a reorganisation and renaming by the government, King George VI became the Air Commodore-in-Chief of the ATC.

We're grateful to the cadet groups, including @733sqn, for sharing photos from last weekend's Coronation service. Please note we'll be closed for sightseeing tomorrow (Sat 13 May), 9am-1:30pm: newcastlecathedral.org.uk/event/cathedra…. However, Café 16 @OswinProjects will remain open! 🍴☕

⭐ "I feel the need, the need for speed!" ⭐ In May, 733 Squadron visited the cinema to see Top Gun: Maverick. Top Gun: Maverick was enjoyed so much, that last night we hosted our very own 733 Squadron screening of the original Top Gun from 1986. Great night had by all!

Have you heard? Our new app for ATC cadets (CCF watch this space), #MyRAFAC, is available to download NOW. 🍏 - apps.apple.com/gb/app/myrafac… 🤖 - play.google.com/store/apps/det…

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Cadets past and present will know the ever-washed ‘3822’, which has served Air Cadets well for many years. But from 28 June, we’re saying 👋 to the brand new #MyRAFAC app, which will replace the 3822 as the cadet ID and record of service. Link in thread 👇

🌟 RANGE DAY 🌟 Last weekend saw 733 cadets Cpl Navle and Cdt Buzzeo, along with FS Hall attend a L98A2 Short Range Day at RAF Boulmer. Both cadets managed to qualify for their Silver Trained Shot Badge and thoroughly enjoyed their day! #team733

Last night our cadets were lucky enough to be visited by PC Hodgson and his three furry colleagues from Northumbria Police's Dog Section. Many thanks to PC Hodgson for a very interesting visit and for answering questions from our staff and cadets! #team733 @npdogsection

First class certificates and a silver DofE award last night! Well done 👏
