RAF COLLEGE CRANWELL“Training Statistics”
1920 - 1939Version 1.0 dated 19 September 2020 created by IBM Steward 6GE
“Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics”When you are fortunate to discover a plethora of training records, particularly ones that have been locked away for many years, the temptation is to analyse them and collate statistics that give an insight into changing trends. So it is with individual flight cadet records, graduation programmes and disposal rolls, stored in the College archive, that record the passage of some 28,000 cadets who have undergone training at the RAF College.
In four separate albums, we offer some insight into the training trends of the world’s oldest independent air academy, from its inception in 1920 to the present date. We do not claim that the statistics are wholly accurate, but merely give some indication of training trends through the decades. Some individual records are missing from the archive - perhaps withdrawn for briefings, mislaid or even destroyed over time - but we have collated sufficient information to enable comparisons to be made as life at the College evolved over its 100 year history.
In this first stats album, you will see an analysis of the 1920s and 1930s, and the RAF and FCO cadets who graduated from Initial Officer and Pilot Training. For the cadets of the 1930s, we are able to identify those who “withdrew” and those who were killed in flying accidents that were inevitable in the early days of ‘pioneer’ flying.
In the war years, covered by the second stats album, the College was closed for Officer Training, but many airman aircrew undertook their flying training with the SFTS at Cranwell.
Officer and Pilot training at the College resumed in the 1940s, to which Navigator, Equipment and Secretarial Training was added in the 1950s, and then Engineering and Regiment Training in the 1960s. The recruitment of cadets straight from school ceased with 101 Entry, which graduated in March 1973. During the 1970s, university graduates received Initial Officer and Specialist Training - Pilot, Engineering, Supply and Secretarial - under the Graduate Entrant (GE) scheme; Navigators completed Initial Officer Training at Cranwell before moving to RAF Finningley (now Robin Hood Airport) for their Navigation Training. The statistics for this era of Jets, Detente and Cold War, are covered by a third album.
In the 1980s, the GE system ‘morphed’ into the IOT system, with the closure of RAF Henlow and the amalgamation of Officer Training schemes under an initiative known as the Single Gate Initial Officer Training scheme. This scheme and its replacement of July 2016 (IOTC) catered for Initial Officer Training of all branches prior to specialist training conducted at a variety of training bases elsewhere. The statistics for this modern era are covered in the fourth stats album.
