The approach.

The main reason for the visit. I trained as an apprentice at RAF Locking from 1959 to 1962 when it was known as Number 1 Radio school. I was a member of the 93rd entry and completed my training as an Air Radio Fitter having studied both airborne radar and wireless.

A large and impressive memorial.
