Welcome to My Site
No 3 (Auckland City) Squadron
Est. September 1941
 
Welcome to the home of the Air Training Corps.
 
3 Squadron is thriving! Each year our cadets go FLYING, hiking, gliding, camping, rifle shooting, marching, collecting on Poppy Day and some even become international youth ambassadors overseas.
 
Cadets are given the chance to learn to fly, lead expeditions, tour foreign countries, become target shooting marksman, learn about aviation and compete in Commonwealth competitions.  This is only a small list of the activities and opportunities for an enviable social life with many new friends.
 
Check out the photos on this page and on our “Photo” page.  Does this look like your sort of thing?
 
Even James Bond thought so!  Visit our list of Famous Ex ATC Cadets from around the world and see who else went to ATC.
