Having just spent a few nights in the Daedalus Officers' Mess, Cranwell, I made the following observations: 1. There was a pool table, juke box and TV in the mess bar. This causes confusion as there is also a billiards room in the mess. How does an officer reserve his place for the pool table?
During the 1930s the College Hall Officers' Mess was completed (1933) and College Hall was opened in 1934 by the then Prince of Wales, Prince Edward. Many types of training aircraft operated at Cranwell over the years including the SE8, Tiger Moth, Gladiator, Bulldog, Tutor, DH Chipmunk, Dominie, Jetstream and KingAir.
Among other functions, it is home to the Royal Air Force College (RAFC), which trains the RAF's new officers and aircrew. The motto, Altium Altrix, meaning "Nurture the highest" appears above the main doors of the Officers Mess. Since January 2023, RAF Cranwell has been commanded by Group Captain Tina Jessup.
Officers Mess Membership. Membership of the Officers’ Mess is compulsory for all officers[1] (of any service) and that brings with it expectations that civilian life does not have. As a member of the Officers’ Mess, the payment of subscriptions to the Mess Fund is mandatory. Actual costs will vary from Station to Station and Mess to Mess.
