Was that Red Course at CF? I graduated on 251 on 4 July 1969!

The Aircrew Officer Training School at Church Fenton was a short-lived unit in the annals of RAF officer training but, with aircrew only officer cadets run by aircrew only staff (bar the DIs), in the 60s it was a great fun place to enter the RAF through. Many happy memories of schoolies from Ilkley and nights out in Taddy!! The weekly pay of £8 was good enough to have change at the end of the week, have a good drinking session during the week and at the weekend and never actually hit the 'interview by CO' threshold if your Mess Bill was over a tenner!
