The interrelated fortunes of St Athan and the engineer branch were reflected by a memorial which was erected in No 2 Workshop on the camp. lt lists, on 22 boards, the decorations awarded to over 370 engineers•, including Norman Jackson’s Victoria Cross. As a heading to these boards, is a simple statement, the more effective because it stands in stark contrast to the enormous task undertaken:
In 1982, the OC of No 4 S of TT, W g Cdr PG E Murray, generously proposed that the memorial be transferred to the present Air Electronics and Air Engineer School, a project which received the enthusiastic support of the AOC Training Units, AVM FDG Clark. On the 30 November 1982 the memorial was re-erected at RAF Finningley.
Note: Extract from “History of the Air Engineer” by Flt Lt Derek Stringman.
Note: The memorial was subsequently moved to 3 FTS RAF Cranwell in 1995 and is now on display at the Newark Air Museum.
No 4 SCHOOL OF TECHNICAL TRAINING
IN THIS WORKSHOP BETWEEN THE YEARS 1941 -1951 TWENTY TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED & NINETY NINE FLIGHT ENGINEERS INCLUDING THE ALLIED FORCES RECEIVED THEIR AB-INITIO TRAINING

- This list includes errors which appear on the original boards.
- The list is not comprehensive.
- The award of DFMs to warrant officers and commissioned officers probably
reflects promotion following the award. - Duplications may be errors, or might denote the award of a bar to the first
decoration.
