Diggle Air Cadets
Activities that offer challenge, excitement and adventure and a great chance to make new friends and pick up new skills and knowledge. The Air Cadets is the place to be – Summer camps at RAF bases in UK and overseas, adventure training, train to fly, gain leadership skills. It is a serious commitment to be a cadet – but once you’ve experienced it yourself we know you wouldn’t have it any other way.
