Air Cadets  1119 Sqn Air Training Corp will again be helping at the Gathering. The ATC joined us in 2006, and provided useful support with the many Site Duties, which they shared with colleagues from the Army Cadet Force. The Cadets enjoyed a short period as crew on a Green Goddess 

Also during 2006, a Corp of Drums was formed and in the short time has won several awards at national competitions; hopefully the Corp will again be able to play at the Gathering.  

For 2008, 1119 Sqn will be joined by 1165 Sqn from Oswestry and 617 Sqn from Malpas.
