As a Squadron, we started
construction of this website in June 2007, and
its thanks to members both past and present,
that we have been able to produce a proud record
of the Squadron’s history, as well as current
features and events.
Our objective now is to
promote both
The Air Training Corps
and 499 Squadron to the young people of our
town, and give an insight into the opportunities
that are available right on their doorstep.
