Service Records

For R.A.F. personell if an individual had any service beyond the mid 1920s, or if he had a service number higher than 329,000, records will still be held at RAF Innsworth. You will need to apply in writing. A search fee of £25 is currently payable and you will need to prove that you are next of kin. The address to apply to is:


RAF Personnel Management Agency,
Disclosure of Information Office,
PMA (IM)1b,
RAF Innsworth,
Gloucester
GL3 1EZ.

My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

3rd Parachute Brigade WWII British & Canadian Reenactors - Home
(Click on Gear on the right and then scroll down to the third link under Equipment)

RAF
RAF/RAF OR Service Numbers - RafCommands Forums
(compiled on rafcommands)

Royal Navy
GENUKI: Marine and Naval Ratings Service Numbers

Ancestry.ca has free access until the end of November 2008 and the Canadian site has a back-door to the UK site so we have all been downloading MICs like crazy!

Remembrance Day Canada - Ancestry.ca

maybe you already know this?
