| - The ATC was organised into squadrons headed by a Commanding Officer and supported by a team of other officers commissioned in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve. These are ex-RAF personnel whose officer commission in the real Air Force is imminent, once they are found to no longer be a gross liability in charge of any aircraft. Supervising children and aircraft together is often a key step in their career rebound. The huts, equipment, and uniforms were also provided by the RAF. Unfortunately, the particular cut of the British Air Force uniform and its blue hue were specifically designed around ruddy complexions and huge moustaches, not for the skin of a pale child. Being adapted to this use is what gives Air Cadets their trademark sickly look. Coupled with the uniforms being at least twelve sizes too big, Air Cadets during blustery outdoor parades resemble tangled flagpoles.

- The Air Training Corps (ATC), commonly known as the Air Cadets, is a cadet organisation based in the United Kingdom. It is a voluntary youth group which is part of the Air Cadet Organization and the Royal Air Force (RAF). It is supported by the Ministry of Defence, with a regular RAF Officer, currently Air Commodore Dawn McCafferty, serving as Commandant Air Cadets (Cmdt AC). The cadets and the majority of staff are civilians and, although a number of its members do go on to join the RAF or other services, the ATC is not set up as a recruiting organisation. The enrollment age for the Air Training Corps is 12 years and 3 months, however cadets can join at the age of 12 and enter as Junior cadets (see junior cadet). When the cadet reaches the age of 18, they are appointed to the position of instructor cadet and are subjected to the same regulations as adult members of staff (including duty of care responsibilities). Service as a Cadet ends, at the latest, on the 20th Birthday of the Cadet, when they become eligible to apply for service as a Civilian Instructor (CI) (See membership). The ATC has almost 41,000 members, aged between 12 to 20 years, within 926 Squadrons. Its Cadets are supported by a network of around 10,000 volunteer Staff and around 5,000 Civilian Committee Members.
