The 92nd Entry joined the Royal Air Force in May 1959 as part of the N°1 Radio School at RAF Locking in Somerset, England. The three year intensive program of transforming teenagers into competent, adult members of the armed services engraved much more than a service number into the minds of those youngsters. Memories of our service and subsequent careers are kept alive during April reunions and friendships formed all those years ago still stand. Any help in tracing or providing news of those 92nd entry members that have not yet been contacted would really be appreciated.
Please use the email link if you have any information, news or are indeed one of the 92nd yourself.

The National Arboretum in Staffordshire is a year round centre of remembrance. It holds many tributes to our armed and other services and now has a monument to the Apprentices of RAF Locking. It was sponsored by the RAFLAA and unveiled at a service on Saturday 19th November attended by over 100 people including three from the 92nd.
The National Arboretum is a fascinating and moving place including an impressive monument with the names of nearly 50,000 servicemen and women who have died since the Second World War. It is well worth a visit.
