The Royal Air Squadron Trophy Competition, also known as the National Ground Training Competition, was created as a way for CCF(RAF) sections to contest the Air Squadron Trophy.
The trophy has been competed for since 1985, when it was awarded to the "year's outstanding CCF(RAF) Section".[1][2] Starting in 1998, the winner of the National Ground Training Competition would be awarded the trophy, marking the beginning of the modern format of the competition.[2] The trophy had originally been presented by the Royal Air Squadron as part of the British Aerobatic Association's annual competition, first contested in 1967. The names of some of the inaugural winners are still engraved on the trophy.[3]
RAF Air Command and the Royal Air Force Air Cadets have recognised the annual competition provides "substantial external profile and value", particularly for the competitive spirit, camaraderie, and experience the competition generates amongst cadets.[4]
