The Air Training Corps celebrates its 80th anniversary this month so today we're going back to the beginnings of the movement with this photo of the 1193 North Shropshire Squadron of the ATC, based at Ellesmere, around 1941 or 1942. The photo came originally from Walter Vickers, of Ellesmere, who is third row down, extreme left. Second row down, extreme right, is his friend Ken McKenzie. The photo was taken when the cadets were going to RAF Shawbury and looking forward to flying.
