About Us

1343 Squadron is one of twenty-two Air Training Corps squadrons in Sussex.

We offer young people aged 13-20 many exciting activities such as flying, gliding, adventure training, target shooting, sports, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, camps and much much more.

In addition we are very active in the local community. You may have seen us mounting the guard on the memorial on Remembrance Day, selling programmes at the May Fair or at one of the other numerous community events we attend throughout the year.
