216 (Redditch) Squadron is based at the Army Reserve Centre in Redditch, and serves the areas of Redditch, Bromsgrove and further afield.
216 Redditch Squadron was formed in 1984 and has a long proud history within West Mercian and also the Wales and West region. The squadron is based at the Army Reserve Centre in Winyates, Redditch and operates 50 weeks a year. With a strength of 40+ cadets and a determined professional staff team the Squadron has loads of opportunities for its members ranging from flying to shooting to sport.
In 2019 we were nominated as one of the Top 6 Small Squadron’s in the country, we firmly believe we are one of the best units nationwide.
‘Semper Ad Sequitur’ – Always Achieves
‘Semper Ad Sequitur’; this is our Squadrons motto and means ‘always achieves’; its something the cadets and staff endeavour to live by. We want to get the most out the opportunities offered, and to always come away with the best results. Be that going for gold at competitions, or making sure cadets get some amazing experiences, it’s what really makes this the organisation to be part of.
As a member of the Squadron you’ll take part in local activities on the unit on parade nights. Dotted throughout the year you’ll get a chance to go on visits to camps, try your hand at kayaking, hill walking, camping, caving, mountain biking, offshore sailing and winter sports to name just a few. Our activities are challenging, and we’ll always push you to get the most out of what’s available.
It’s not just training in the UK either. We’ve recently run expeditions to India, the Alps, Cyprus, South Africa & Everest Base Camp!
