487 Sqn Air training Corps (ATC) based in Kingstanding, have recently launched a recruitment campaign for new cadets.

The Sqn which parades on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 1930-2130 at the Kingstanding TA Centre already has in excess of 20 cadets parading each night. However, the Sqn is looking to increase this number to 30 plus during 2007.

Fg Off Brendan O'neil, OC 487 Sqn said "although we have strong numbers parading each night we need to ensure that our Sqn continues to grow in 2007. 487 Sqn offers the youth of Kingstanding a great place meet new friends and they will also benefit from the many differing activities carried out in the ATC. We now have a close relationship with the local media and we are also looking to enhance our working relationship with our local schools."

Following a recent article in the Birmingham Evening Mail the Sqn has recently seen an number of potential cadets wishing to join and the staff are been kept busy with the nine new recruits!
