Entry Representative: None

In January 1931, 54 young hopefuls arrived at RAF Cranwell as the 3D (23rd) Entry to train as Instrument Makers or Wireless Operator Mechanics.
During their training, they gained 3 from the 21st Entry, 16 from the 22nd Entry but 3 of their number were re-classed to a later Entry. This left 70 to Pass Out in December 1933.
