About Us

Trent Wing was formed in 1999, through merging units of Lincolnshire Wing and East Midlands Wing. The expansion saw the Wing grow to 31 units covering 5 counties in the heart of the UK, making it one of the biggest geographically and in terms of cadets and staff. The wing has gone from strength to strength, being at the forefront of development and offering the full range of cadet activities and staff development available within the RAFAC. 

​

The Wing Crest (left) was designed and approved. The Green and Blue symbolising the Rolling Fields and Hills and the river Trent, which runs through the Wing, with the 32 links in the chain representing all the units in the Wing.  'Unitas' was chosen as the wording, meaning 'Unity'. 

​

Today we have Squadrons and Detached Flights in the locations below. Check the map at the bottom of the page for address details. Please also note that there may be another Squadron near to you covered by another wing too!
