42F (King's Lynn) Squadron Air Training Corps

Venture Adventure since 1939

42F King's Lynn Squadron was formed in 1939 as one of the first 50 squadrons of the Air Defence Cadet Corps (ADCC). This privilege was marked by the first 50 squadrons having an F - standing for founder after their number. The squadron began in January 1939 with the head quarters based in the centre of King's Lynn at Paradise Chambers.
In 1941 the ADCC changed to become the Air Training Corps where the role of the squadron included assisting in recruiting for the RAF.
In 1967 the squadron moved from Paradise Chambers to its headquarters in Loke Road and has successfully been parading there for the last 40 years. In 2007 the old wooden style headquarters was demolished to make way for the new building.

As well as the  cadet  training that  happens at 42F, the squadron also takes part in numerous events in the community. These range from charity work, parades  and Civic Events , to assisting at the Sandringham Flower show and Stradsett Rally

The squadron also organises several trips during the year including the visiting of war graves in France and Belgium which many cadets find emotional.
The other visits include visiting Museums, RAF Stations and trips  to Scotland to watch the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
Adventure training expeditions overseas and the opportunity to go to different parts of the country on an RAF Summer Camp also add to the many experiences that being a member of the squadron can offer.
