It may be 50 years since members of the 24th Boy Entrant entry performed their graduation parades at Cosford and St Athan but you never forget how to march!

Making a 50th anniversary reunion to DCAE Cosford, 40 ex-boy entrants, now in their late sixties, re-enacted their graduation parades in front of Gp Capt Gary Fletcher, the officer commanding No 1 School of Technical Training, and their proud wives and guests.
As they formed up, under the professional eye of Cpl Gareth 'Doods' Doody, one of the Cosford drill instructors, the years slipped away, the backs straightened, the heads lifted, and their wives all agreed that they looked 15 years younger. Turning smartly into line, the two flights stepped off and remained perfectly in-step for the whole march past.
Approaching the reviewing dais, eyes right and their panamas stylishly removed in salute, the ex-boys' pride was clearly evident to all.
sal; sal; sal; Well done...
