The Air Cadets Squadron is also an affiliated member of 249 Squadron Association. A Battle of Britain Class steam locomotive, Number "34073, 249 Squadron", was named after the squadron. The locomotive escaped scrapping after it was withdrawn from service in 1964 and is currently awaiting restoration to running condition. In 2014 the locomotive was moved from Bury to storage at Carnforth. A replica Hurricane was unveiled in 2012 in Alexandra Gardens, Barry Avenue, Windsor SL4 3HD. It bears the code letters GN-J of 249 Squadron.
