Thank you all for your help. I think I have now ascertained that he trained as a rear gunner but as he went to Aden in 1946 at the end of the war he was probably never on active service. His trade was FME so he probably went to Aden as that. if so it must have been his operational training unit that had New Zealanders in. In Aden would he have maintained other aircraft that we're being used for transport etc? Does that mean he was in a regimental unit rather than a squadron? Sorry to ask so many questions but thanks for any help. Rosemary Wibberley

Hi Thanks both. He was a rear gunner in a lancaster with a new zealand crew I believe. His war record states he was a flight mechanic and flight sergeant. He arrived in Khormaksar in July 1946 and was there for a year.

My Father in law served in the RAF from 1943 until 1947 and I am trying to find out which squadron he was with. We know that he went to Aden after training. I have his war reciord from the RAF disclosure unit but it doesnt seem to state any squadron etc. Does anyone know where I go from here? Thankyou
