It mainly flies Cadets from the local wings; Cumbria and North Lancashire Wing (North Lancashire half only as the Cumbrian half use 11 AEF at RAF Leeming, due to the distance from RAF Woodvale), East Cheshire and South Manchester Wing, Merseyside Wingand No. 2 Welsh Wing, East Lancashire Wing CCF conting

It will also fly cadets on annual camp at RAF Valley, when it will sometimes send an aircraft to RAF Mona for a day to fly the cadets on camp there. This increases the chance of flying all the cadets due to the long journey from RAF Valley to RAF Woodvale by road. Air cadets and CCF sections from Northern Ireland also fly at Woolvale.
