Check out the following
book in which Rod Wallace's father figures and
was a member of 55th entry
| Brief Description With the passing out of the One Hundred and Fifty-Fifth entry in 1993 came the end of the Aircraft Apprentice Scheme. This is the story of just one of the electricians of the Fifty-Fifth Entry and,in some respects, is also the story of apprentices of all trades and entries. It provides a riotous, irreverent and entertaining account of the author's experiences as an aircraft apprentice in the RAF. |
