The Squadron...
...history
Established in 1951 as 2247 (County of Flint) Squadron, we originally provided training for young men aspiring to join the RAF - at a time when female cadets were not permitted. We have always been a relatively large unit, reaching a peak of more than 120 cadets in the 1980s - a decade in which we were also named the 'Best Squadron in the Country' as winners of the Sir Alan Lees Trophy.
...today
With a cadet strength of more than sixty supported by a devoted team of ten cadet forces adult volunteers led by Commanding Officer - Warrant Officer Liam Ellis - today the Squadron continues to thrive. Regularly the largest Squadron in the North and Mid Wales area, we are particularly successful in marching drill competitions.
