Welcome to 1921

1921 Squadron is friendly and exciting Air Cadet Squadron, serving the Lewisham area. Our cadets take part in a range of activities and adventure training which are out of this world — where else could you learn to fly a plane before you can drive a car? Cadets aged 13 to 18 are regularly involved in flying, gliding, adventure training, shooting, sports and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award: learning new skills and making new friends. You could be too!

All enquiries and questions can be directed to the Officer Commanding or the website team via the contacts page.

We hope to see you on the Squadron!

But getting there is half the battle – and the cadets have been working really hard to raise money for their trip. Ten cadets recently completed the gruelling 17 mile “Spitfire” March in Folkestone, and were sponsored to raise money for their trip.
