The squadron, which meets at its premises in Bellsmeadow, is the largest ATC squadron in the area. Operating continuously since 1941, it has played a part in shaping the lives of many local young people over the years and has taught them many valuable skills.
Here we take a look back at a selection of photographs from 470 (Falkirk) Squadron in recent years from the Falkirk Herald archives.
