REME Instrument Trade
A record of Instrument Technicians / Mechanics and Artificers who served in
the Corps of Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers spanning the years 1954
to 2000.
This document has been compiled by Dave Knowles, who served as an Instrument Technician /
Artificer between 1977 and 1999. The information and photographs within have been provided by
numerous fellow tradesmen over a number of years. I neither claim, nor stipulate any copyright to
this material and view it very much as open source to all fellow tradesmen, and their families, who
served in the REME Instrument Trade over the years. The work is simply an attempt to record all of
us in one place and provide a meaningful memento which can be passed on to families and friends
alike.
The information covers the period 1954 to 2000, which is effectively the year in which the REME
Instrument trade passed into history as the trade was merged, along with a number of other REME
trades, into the REME Electronics trade group.
The work has relied on input from many fellow tradesmen and is by no means complete. It
summaries almost three years of information gathering. There is every chance a revision or two will
be created, to reflect further information as it becomes available.
Any additional information, photographs; amendments; or indeed suggestions or enquiries can be
sent to : [email protected].

Words from Bernie Baker
(There were three intakes each year A, B & C. I
believe that there were six on our course although
my memory seems to think that we were joined by an
A/T from 61B who had been back squaded (Alan
Thornton). I think that that we were the first to
start and finish at Carlisle and that we were also
the first to be posted as (L/Cpl) Technicians. Dave
Sanderson, Bernie Baker, Geoff Cashmore-Thorley,
Mick Barker, Chalky White, Freddy Mills . As for
instructors, Head of Section was ASM Bob Pringle
and I believe that Gus Gorse, of Bordon fame, also
did a stint

Notes on apprentice training.
It is believed training for apprentice instruments mechanics at Arborfield started in the mid 40’s after responsibility was transferred to REME from? Prior to this training was
probably conducted at Woolwich. The earliest report found to date of anyone attending apprentice training at Arborfield is Bob Spiller in the mid 40’s No other reports have
been received until intake 54b reported above.
Length of training for apprentices was 3 years.
It is believed that in 1959 a decision was made to transfer the training of apprentice instruments mechanics to Carlisle. Courses which were mid training relocated to
Carlisle. It is believed 56c may have been the last apprentice instrument course to pass out of Arborfield.
Training at Carlisle lasted until 1966, when the decision was made to discontinue apprentice instrument tech training. Courses which were mid training (64A, B & C) were
relocated to Bordon and finished their training there. It is very likely that the last apprentice instrument tech course to pass out of Carlisle was 63c, although to date there
has been no records found of this course.
Apprentice training for Instrument Technicians was reintroduced in ? Conducted at Princess Marina College, Arborfield. Length of training was XX. The first course to pass
out after training was XX in XX

all failed bench fitting and so by 1030 we were 50/1.
Tony Lomax back-coursed almost at the end. We did
bench fitting at the end with one of the armourer

Consolidated list of Instructors at
Arborfield, Carlisle, Bordon
I will try to sort this by school and year order,
separating Civilian & Military
Civilian
Mr Green - Senior Instructor – retired about 1985?
Mike Parsons - took over as Senior Instructor after Mr Green
retired. I think he then moved down to exam centre in about
1988?
Roger Beale - taught TLS PSU before taking over as Senior
Instructor about 1988
Pete Tiley [1] - I think he initially took over from Vern Woods
when Vern retired. Became Senior Instructor in early 90's
when Roger Beale retired. Was Pete Tiley the last Instruments
dedicated Senior Instructor?
Mr McClaren - taught white light instruments & desiccators?
Vern Woods - taught theodolites & Survey eqpts, not sure of
years
Colin Bazen[1]
Ian Johnston [1]
Mike Smith [1]
Bob Bankier – [1] started instructing as a WO2, then ASM,
then transferred into a civilian role. Taught Thermal Imaging.
