No1 Radio School, RAF Locking
9th May 1963 - 5th April 1966

Motto - 'Quo Non Ascendam'
(To what heights can we not ascend)

'What's New' - what's been added to this site - 6th July 2008

Welcome to the 104th's Web Site. Over time this site will become a record of the three years that 41 young men spent at RAF Locking training to be Ground Radar Fitters in the RAF. The site will enable the entry to stay in touch and also provide historical details on apprentice training in the RAF. If you are ex 104th why not join our Discussion Group,  email or Login to the 104th's area to stay in touch.

The content is for the 104th but it is hoped that the site will be of interest to other apprentices and all who served at RAF Locking. Contributions to this site are welcomed and can be emailed to the author.

A quote from the Locking Review - Spring 1966
Station Rugby - "Despite many defeats the team has played well on occasions".

RAF Locking closed it's gates on 07/11/1999
In the final days of Locking 3 RAF personnel were tasked with clearing up and 'handing in the keys and switching out the lights'. They were Sgt Jerry Wright, WO Phil Fuller, and a S/L (can anyone help with a name?). Phil Fuller made the executive decision to leave and “close the gates” on the 7th November 1999.
(Many thanks to Jerry Wright for the above information)
