The Cosford Crest
The Cosford crest consists of an acorn superimposed on an oak tree.
"An apt reminder that Great Oaks from little acorns grow".
It also reminds us that RAF Cosford is situated close
to the "Royal Oak" at nearby Boscobel.
The motto "Seul le Premier Pascoute"
can be translated as "Only the first step is difficult"
In 1966 - 67 No. 2 School of Technical training Royal Air Force
Cosford,
trained Apprentices in Electronics, Photography and Telegraphy.
The School also gave advanced training to adult airmen and
women
in the Electronic and communication trades. Including Airmen
and
Officers from foreign
Air Forces.
At the time of our Pass out in April 1967, 393 Apprentices were at the school.
In addition to the Technical and Physical
training, Apprentices were encouraged
to participate in all aspects of
hobbies and sporting activity. Cosford had a
superb indoor Athletics arena,
that was used by athletes
from all over the world.
As you will see from the Photo Gallery, the RAF
had a cottage and training area
in mid Wales at "Ty Canol, Llanymawddwy.
This was the base camp for hiking
and rock climbing activities, as well as
canoeing on lake Bala.
After training we were all posted to stations
around the world,
to commence "
Normal" Service life.
