1454 Harrow Squadron

Thank you letter from Mayor of Harrow

Dear Flt Lt Black

I wanted to personally thank 1454 Harrow Squadron ATC and 101 (Kenton) Squadron ATC for their outstanding participation in this year’s Remembrance Sunday Parade.

You marched with such pride, discipline, and enthusiasm, it was truly a credit to you, your squadron, and to Harrow itself. Watching all the cadets take their place in the parade was an inspiring sight, and I felt immense pride in seeing how smartly you were turned out and how respectfully you represented our borough.

Your professionalism and commitment were clear for all to see, and many members of the public commented to me on how impressive the air cadets looked and how much your presence added to the event. You embodied the spirit of service and remembrance that the day stands for.

Please pass on my sincere thanks to every cadet and officer involved. You have done Harrow proud, and I am deeply grateful for the time, effort, and dedication that went into your preparation and participation.

With my warmest regards
Cllr Anjana Patel
The Worshipful The Mayor of Harrow

Officer Commanding Welcome

It is a pleasure to welcome you to 1454 Harrow Squadron Air Training Corps. We have a unique and distinguished history since our formation in 1941, where 436 cadets from 1454 Harrow Squadron served in World War 2. We are the oldest ATC squadron to operate continuously since formation without a break in the London Borough of Harrow.

The modern-day Royal Air Force Air Cadets aims to;

To promote and encourage among young people a practical interest in aviation and the Royal Air Force.
To provide training which will be useful both in Service and in civilian life.
To foster the spirit of adventure and to develop the qualities of leadership and good citizenship.

In recent years, the Squadron has received a number of achievements and accolades including;

1995 - Guinness World Record for the fastest rope pull of concord
2015 - Winning the Dacre Sword for the best cadet
2023 - Involvement in the Coronation King Charles III

We support local events for Remembrance Sunday, Battle of Britain and various mayoral functions. In recognition of this long-lasting commitment to the community, the Squadron was awarded the ‘Freedom of the Borough’ in 2014.

We currently welcome new Cadets to join between 12-16 and for those who are over 20 there are a range of pathways to volunteer within our organisation. Check out our Recruitment Page for more.
