It's a great organisation. Wish I'd had a camera when I was a cadet. I took some shots of the Merlin at Duxford if anyone would like to see them. Forgot all about them.
The joys of being in the Air Training Corps lol!

Good choice. I suppose if it's good enough for the US President ("US101"), then it's probably good enough for most people...
