In September 1933, 60 young hopefuls arrived at
RAF Cranwell as the 6J (28th) Entry to train as Instrument Makers
(Class 9), or Wireless Operator Mechanics (Classes 1, 2 and
3). The Entry Representative remembers one of their
number "dropping out" but cannot recall his name or why
he stopped training. He is not therefore, for obvious
reasons, included in the listing below. During
their training 2 of their number were re-classed to later Entries,
leaving 57 to pass out in July 1936.
