Hi Ross,
Thank you for your reply to my appeal for assistance.
I know that there was a COL at Cockburnspath , However I presumed that it was maybe to far to travel to get to work so to speak , As I said to Imber I received my Fathers Record of Service from
RAF Cranwell and there was no mention of any training on it , I sent it back asking for some clarification on various on the whole record if they could . Back it came and between My Fathers enlistment at RAF Padgate and RAF Drem was these words , initially meant for GD , Then set to RAF Drem to train as Radio Op. I had emailed East Lothian at War and also Yatesbury Association and both mentioned that there was no training facility of that nature at Drem, Imber also mentioned Dirleton Radar as possible training , however not sure if that was a COL Unit as after these Two bases my Father was sent to Malta from NOV 1940 --- April 1943 on No 504 COL AMES type 5 Radar at
Dingli Cliff.
Again thank you so very much for this post and the other post on the WW2 very much appreciated information .
Kindest Regards
