361 Gateshead Squadron is part of RAFAC, a voluntary organisation for young people, between the ages of 13 and 20 years, who enjoy challenging and exciting activities. If you are from the Gateshead area, then do look around our site to find out more about the Air Cadets, and what goes on around here!

As a cadet you’ll have the opportunity to do things that others only dream about. Want real flight experience? No problem. How about heading out on adventurous training and camps, sometimes overseas? Normal for cadets. Competitive sports, drill, shooting, music, abseiling, engineering projects? Our list of activities is long, varied and open to all cadets. Yes it’s a challenge, but that’s what life’s all about.
