225 Entry RAF Halton           

     
 

 

 

            

 

 

 

 

 

 The 80 or so members of 225 Entry arrived at Halton on 4 November 1971 and were marched off (although it did not look much like marching at that stage!) the following morning to be attested into the RAF. Our motley crew consisted of three classes of Airframes, one of Armourers and one of Ground Electricians, but over the coming weeks and months we gelled into something far more military in appearance.  

After two years of study and hard work (and a certain amount of fun) most of us passed out on 25 October 1973 as Junior Technicians, although we did lose some along the way who unfortunately did not last the distance, or stumbled at a late stage and left as Senior Aircraftsmen. Of course we also gained a few from more senior entries as they were back-flighted for a variety of reasons.  

Despite the best intentions to keep in contact, postings and the years saw us dissipate around the RAF, and then start to drift out into civilian life. However, as we approach the 40th Anniversary of our arrival at Halton, it is time to think about re-establishing those links and seeing if we can have a get-together to mark the occasion - so the search is on for any members of the entry.  

If you were with 225 Entry at any time between November 1971 and October 1973 then do not delay and get in contact with Dickie Bird and let us see what we can get organized for 2011.
