It would help if they stopped re-numbering Courses all the time. I was on 172 IOT in '65 :)
[Not at Cranwell, of course, but Sunny Feltwell] |
When did the three year course end?
|
Can't say when it ended but, it started in 1954 with 69'. April 54 to April 57'.
|
Thanks. I was at Swinderby from November 1956 to August 1957 when we used to bump into Cranwellians in the Saracens Head in Lincoln
|
brakedwell asked:
When did the three year course end? The first Graduate Entry was 1GE in September 1970, so for a brief period the Flt Cdt and GE schemes ran in parallel. But in 1978-9 came the Henlow :yuk: merger - and the RAF College 'went comprehensive' in the eyes of many...:hmm: |

Ex-93 Entry Cranwel[/B]l |
Reunion
[great idea for a reunion but lets create a designated website
|
I was on 39 IOT in about 1980 does that count? It feels like 50 years ago....
|
And I was on 60 IOT in early 82 so how does that numbering thing work again?
|
I thought my first IOT course as a flt cdr was 57 ("B" Sqn) in Jan 83
|
57 IOT started 36 years ago on 18 Oct 81.
|
So maybe it was 67 I was with.. long time ago
|
Those we are still trying to locate
With just over a month to go to our reunion there are 2 members of the Entry that we have not been able to locate. They are:
Pete (PE) Dobbs an Engineering Officer Adrian (AJ) Evans GD/Nav If any one has any information on either of them that may help us locate them please PM me. Thanks |

You youngsters have nothing to worry about.....yet. Now where is my zimmer
|
Some of our 105th Entry at Halton went off to Cranwell when we graduated in August 1966. I imagine they would have been around the 93rd Entry there.

Just don't tell Mrs W.......

Victor, pm re Pete Dobbs sent

Re #11.
Adrian Evans (Drain) was originally on 92C. Last heard of in mid 90's in the Calne area of Wiltshire. I was trying to get in touch with him then but didn't succeed in tracking him down. Good luck |
If Adrian Evans ended up on the Herc best to try 24,30 and 47 Sqn Associations.
|
nipva and Brian 48Nav
Thanks for your help. We have tried the Herc Associations to no avail, but will keep working on the Herc lead, which is the best we have |
93 Entry started in Oct 65 so I suspect your friends were on 95 Entry. I seem to remember that ours was the first entry to have engineers on it, as a start of the transition of Engineer training from Henlow to Cranwell. The rest of the Henlow entries moved up a little later.
I had great admiration for the ex apprentices, having got to the top of their courses they then started again at the bottom and went through all bull etc that went with Cranwell. They were a great help to us novices, teaching us the tricks of bulling boots, ironing uniforms etc. Happy days |
Thanks to the help from 2 TWU we have now located Peter Dobbs, so we are now only looking for Adrian Evans
