The Cosford Crest
The Cosford crest consists of an acorn superimposed on an oak tree.
An apt reminder, that "Great Oaks from little acorns grow." It also reminds us that RAF Cosford is situated close to the "Royal Oak" at nearby Boscobel.
The motto "Seul le Premier Pascoute" can be translated as "Only the first step is difficult."
No Longer the young inexperienced 15 or 16 year old boys, who had entered the Service a year earlier.
But Men who had endured One complete Year of Square Bashing, Educational and Trade training,
plus a very tough physical training, to make them ready to serve operationally, anywhere in the World.
To find me - just follow the arrow. I am that handsome chap
I am still trying to remember everyone's name, so if you can put names to faces, please let me know. ( .... It was
40+ years ago! ).
My Thanks to Stewart Ross for the Entry Photograph.
Do you Remember your first pair of service BOOTS?
