AIR78 index card for RAF OR/NCO has a card in the name of Brian William Hasker 3521141.
There is nothing other than the listed name to link this with the man you describe.
A request using the online .gov.uk method for deceased persons service record would require you provide an dob which RAF Disclosures would use to see if that corresponds to the individual.
The service number from AIR27 denotes entry to RAF sometime between Jan 1955 and 1958 Regular enlistments Ex ATC at RAF Cardington.
The pay site will have no other information than that given free in this post.

As the file has been transferred then RAF Disclosures will point you to back to TNA.
TNA allows an FoI application with proof of death - they should have given link in the return correspondence to the form.
Sometimes the TNA requires a particular form and info for FoI - might be best to check that they are accepting the details you gave as FoI request to Open a Closed Record.

If she was not commissioned eg WAAF G, Section Officer etc then the records will be in a batch being transferred from MoD to TNA 2025/2026. They will start appearing in Discovery closer to 2026.
For the moment make an online application to RAF Disclosures at Cranwell via .GOV.UK - they will tell you where the records are, possibly give a ref number that TNA can use to find on the pallets or even give a copy of the microfilm version that MoD has at the moment.

If you would like to post images of it I suspect you will find that it far from useless.
Only a very few RAF service men served on a Squadron , most were in all the other units/formations that formed the RAF eg MU Maintenance Units.

If he enrolled as an Other Rank then he will be probably listed in AIR78

However there is nothing to differentiate similar names.
Marriage certificates sometimes contain Service Numbers for Husband.
A service number is not needed to apply for a Service Record for a deceased service person.

Nah - the foreman is only around for so long - good co-workers need to gain experience and step up when exercise opportunity allows.

Sorry Andy - no Lance Corporal rank in the RAF at that time.
Came in for RAF Regiment only in 2010.
The classification LAC is Leading Aircraftman
I think you will find that w/t is actually u/t - he never attended any Technical Training for r/t or w/t trade.
