2452 (Shawlands Academy) Squadron Description
The Air Cadet Organisation (ACO) is a national youth organisation sponsored by the Royal Air Force in the UK. Membership is open to young people aged between 12 (must be S2) and 20 years inclusive.
The "Air Cadets" provides the opportunity for members to take part in a huge and diverse range of exciting and challenging activities. Many are organised at National and Regional level, many others take place locally at Wing and Squadron levels.
