The Royal Air Force College (RAFC) is the Royal Air Force training & education academy which provides initial training to all RAF personnel who are preparing to be commissioned officers.
The College also provides initial training to aircrew cadets & is responsible for all RAF recruiting along with officer & aircrew selection
Originally established as a naval aviation training centre during WWI, the College was established as the world\'s first air academy in 1919
During WW2 the College was closed & its facilities were used as a flying training school
Reopening after WW2, the College absorbed the RAF Technical College in 1966.
In recent years it has incorporated the Air Power Studies Division of King\'s College London.
The Royal Air Force College is based at RAF Cranwell near Sleaford in Lincolnshire
Jesus College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, England.
The College was founded in 1496 on the site of a Benedictine nunnery by John Alcock, then Bishop of Ely
It has been traditionally believed that the nunnery was turned into a college because the nunnery had gained a reputation for licentiousness.
The College\'s full name is \"The College of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist and the glorious Virgin Saint Radegund, near Cambridge\"
Its common name comes from the name of its Chapel, Jesus Chapel. Founded at the beginning of the 12th century, the Chapel is the oldest university building in Cambridge still in use.
