176 (Hove) Squadron
176 Squadron has been a part in the local community since 1938 when it was formed as part of the Air Defence Cadet Corps (ADCC). In 1941, it took its place in the newly formed Air Training Corps (ATC). Since then the Squadron has delivered life changing experiences, ensuring cadets have fun, embracing adventure and forging life long friends.
Sponsored by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and represented by our Honorary Air Commandant, HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, the Corps has more than 40,000 members aged 12 to 20 years and nearly 1000 Squadrons. We represent a large proportion of the cadet body in the United Kingdom.
