Hi, doing some research and wondering if anyone can help me with the exact date of the first batch of cadets starting in Preswick? I know it has been ages ago but can't seem to find the information around.

Thanks much.

My guess would be about 13 years

First intake and course was 1990 ... from recall.

A good check out rate on command training which is a reflection on the quality.

PS: The place is spelled Prestwick..southwest of Glasgow in Scotland.

How many was in the first class and how many actually made it to captain?

Thank you HFX..I am totally unfamiliar with the place..no wonder I couldn't find info via search engine. Hohoho.

So how sure are you with 1990? Hope it is not to bothersome by asking this.

Thanks.

Wrong again.

The program actually started in 1988 and the first batch started on the line in late 1989 and early 1990.

I think there were 12 in the first intake.
