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.
