'A \>>m FLIGHT, JUNE 14, 1934 CRANWELL The R.A.F. Cadet College By MAJOR F. A. de V. ROBERTSON, V.D. Two essentials of a fighting Service are a Staff College and a Cadet College. The Royal Air Force has its Cadet College at Cranwell, Lincolnshire, and its Staff College at Andover, Hampshire. In our issue of July 20, 1933, we gave some account of Andover. The following article gives impressions formed after a visit, by kind permission of the Air Ministry, to Cranwell eRAN WELL aerodrome isfamiliar to most writerson aeronautical subjects.It is the largest aerodrome in the kingdom, and consequently all the heavily laden machines which have attempted to estab- lish a long-distance record have taken of! from there. The present writer was shown round the Col- lege some years ago, and brought away a recollection of dreary Army huts, which the Flight Cadets tried to make as comfort- able as possible. Now, as our photograph shows, a stately build- ing has arisen which can be seen for miles towering above the fiat, wind-swept plains of Lincolnshire. It is already in use, but it will be officially opened in September next. It is a worthy home for the future permanent officers of the Royal Air Force. A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION : The main entrance lobby of Cranwell College. (FLIGHT Photos.) 581
