Entry Representative: Ray Cripps
This Web Page has been raised by the Webmaster,
initially
based upon data held in the RAF Cranwell Association Database then
updated in consultation with the Entry Rep.
In February 1943, 77 young hopefuls arrived at
RAF Cranwell as the 5M3 (46th) Entry, the last Entry to train as Wireless Operator
Mechanics. During
their training they gained 15 from Senior Entries, 3 failed
to pass out as WOM's, leaving 89 to pass out in September 1945 as
the 5M9 (46th) Entry.
