* It’s interesting to note that of the magnificent 19 above, eight went on to become commissioned officers – we are particularly chuffed with Weller’s achievement:
ARMO – 2 – Cupitt & Whately
ENGAERO – 4 – Eller, Hobby, Lennox & Weller(AVM)
ADMIN – 1 - Stone
AIRTC – 1 – Hurford
We also had a lot of commissioned guys from the other trades.
