The Journal of the 81st Entry
Uploaded by Brian Spurway
Edited by Mike Stanley
Welcome to the seventh edition of The Journal.
The title of the Entry Journal "First and Last" came from an article I wrote for The Haltonian where I claimed that the 81st was the last entry to be recruited into, and trained as, an entry in the RAF Apprenticeship Scheme (albeit only for one term) I was shot down in flames as it seems that was not the case (although I maintain that we were the last of the old style entries). So I now use the Carlsberg Caveat when making claims for the entry. Here are some of those claims.
Probably the first Entry to have a Warrant Officer Apprentice rank.
Probably the first Senior Entry to go on an educational visit to Spain.
Probably the first Entry to have a member win the Halton Station Shooting Championship.
Probably the first Entry to have produced advertising stickers.
Probably the last Entry to have produced advertising stickers.
Probably there are other such claims that could be made for the Entry.
