This Web Page was initially raised based upon data held in the RAF Cranwell Association Database, and was then updated with advice from Entry Representatives.

 

Entry Representative: Vic Ludlow

In April 1951, 134 young hopefuls arrived at RAF Cranwell as the 4M5 (68th) Entry to train as Ground Radar, Ground Wireless or Air Radio Fitters.

As part of the MOD planning towards ceasing Apprentice training at RAF Cranwell, the title of No. 1 Radio School was transferred to RAF Locking in October 1950 and Cranwell became No. 6 Radio School. On the closure of No. 6 Radio School Cranwell in November 1952 the Entry re-located to No. 1 Radio School RAF Locking from where they passed out. During their training they gained 7 from Senior Entries,  11 ceased training or re-mustered, while 23 of their number were re-classed to later Entries, leaving 107 to pass out in April 1954.
