Introduction to 150 Squadron
Welcome to the web site of 150 (City of Oxford) Squadron Air Training Corps (ATC), the area’s largest and best equipped Cadet Unit. We are a large and friendly squadron run by a dedicated staff team. Unlike some other youth organisations we have high standards and expect a lot from our cadets… we give a lot in return though… For more information take a look at our prospectus, fill in the joining form or pay us a visit.
Have you got what it takes?
If so we’ll see you on the parade square!
Air Training Corps Aims
We run and active and demanding program of activities in accordance with the three core aims of the ATC:
- To promote and encourage among young people a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force.
- To provide training which will be useful in both the Services and civilian life.
- To foster the spirit of adventure and develop qualities of leadership and good citizenship.
Visit of Flt Lt Adrian Parker RAuxAF
On 1 Dec, we were very pleased to welcome Flt Lt Parker to the Squadron. Flt Lt Parker serves with the RAuxAF and met Cpl Skelton when they both served in Iraq. He came to tell us something about the RAuxAF, Iraq and his role. (Ed.)

Wing Challenge 2009
We’d trained hard and a determined team met at the squadron at 0900 on Saturday 4 July. The team was met by Cpl Skelton who was unable to come, but wanted to see them off. The team gathered final pieces of kit and packed themselves into the minibus. A fortunate text message from Cpl Skelton reached us as we pulled out of the gate; we dashed back to the bottom hut to collect the tents and started again. Arriving at Bramley, we parked the minibus and the team was whisked away by the directing staff. Your editor spent the afternoon teaching compass skills and the evening running an NEWD exercise based on the enigma code. I spent Sunday marking a pacing and bearing exercise. I saw our team once or twice during the weekend. They looked more professional than the last time I went to Wing Challenge. Spirits seemed high and they worked to the end of a long 36 hrs. The weekend was hot and my first aid skills were put to use with a case of heat exhaustion.

Remembrance Parade 2009
2009 was my first remembrance parade in uniform. A slightly nervous occasion since my drill is not as practiced as it might be. I was concentrating very hard during the march down St Giles. By the way, the brown officers’ gloves are next to useless, so no need for envy on that score. (Ed.)
