"Stacker" apprentices
"Oh and by the way I never knew the Royal Air Force Apprentice scheme included “stackers”. I might have missed something so please enlighten me if I have."

Slightly off-topic from the title of this thread.
We were titled "Administrative Apprentices (AA)" and done a 12 month course at Hereford. Also included in this scheme were the Clerks and the Cooks. We were the successors to the Boy Entrant Scheme which lasted 18 months. The first entry of Admin Apprentices - numbered in the 300 series - started in 1964 and the last one was about 10 years later. After passing-out, we were re-mustered to the trade of 'Supplier General' but that was shortened in the seventies to "Supplier". I should think that just a very few members of that scheme remain in the service.
