Title: Royal Air force Enlistment - Thomas Isfryn Jones
Post by: davierj on Saturday 26 August 23 08:20 BST (UK)

I am trying to find some basic information about the enlistment and subsequent RAF service of Thomas Isfryn Jones.   He was born 23 August 1907 in Talybont, Cardiganshire.  Married Daisy Jenkins in 1937 and lived in Aberystwyth.   Being over 30 at the outset of the war, he was probably called up later in the war and joined the RAF possibly in Penarth.   I believe most of his service was undertaken on bomber bases processing post bombing raid photographs etc.
Any information greatly appreciated
Dave

Service records of WW2 airmen are still with the MOD.
