I did my OASC at Hornchurch in 61/62. Had numerous enjoyable/interesting holding postings, one of which was as a guinea pig at OASC which, by then, had moved to Biggin Hill. The RAF trained selection staff for a number of other organisations including the RN. Part of their training was to conduct assessments hence our little team of guinea pigs. One got quite blase about the whole thing and the exercises were much more fun when it really didnt matter and you had done them a number of times anyway. The most amusing thing was going through the interviews again and again. I remember a WREN officer who always seemed to make her questions have some sort of sexual overtone! Fascinating!
