About Us
70 Squadron began life as a Detached Flight of 1330 (Warrington) Squadron and initially established its’ HQ in the Croft Youth Centre.
After some time the unit had grown from strength to strength and the drive for independence became stronger until in 1976 the unit gained full Squadron status.
The present day location is behind the village Memorial Hall in Croft. The unit has benefited from an extension and refurbishment, which was completed in 2007.
The Squadron boasts a strong bond with its’ regular counterpart, 70 Squadron RAF, which is stationed at RAF Lyneham and affectionally known by members of 70 Squadron ATC as our big brother.
We offer an array of opportunities aimed at those who have an ambition to pursue a career in the Royal Air Force and those who simply wish to expand their minds away from the norm of life. The Squadron benefits from a vast military knowledge bank of adult instructors who have served in all three services and we have had success in helping those who wish to join HM Forces fulfil their ambition.
