ASC definitely Hornchurch at least from 1953 to 1958. However basic training was a bit mixed with some doing eight weeks square bashing at various places Bridgnorth, Padgate and Hednesford come to mind. Followed by either twelve weeks on the Isle of Man at Jurby if you were selected for officer training. Some went to Kirton Lindsey for basic training and for pilots on to 6 FTS at Ternhill. Those selected as NCO aircrew went elsewhere but I cannot remember where. A few direct entry chaps got lucky and were still sent to Canada to do their pilot training, this may have included some National Service chaps.
