Hi All,
I am after some help please in identifying a couple of units on my Grandfathers RAF service record that i recently obtained. Attached is an extract showing the units he was with. So far i have the following, but the ones in bold i have not fully identified:
18 RC
- I believe this is a Recruits Center, but so far have been able to find no mention of No.18
2 S of TT - No.2 School of Technical Training RAF Cosford
241 Sd.
- I have no idea on this one, i am especially interested in this one as he was only there for 8 days !!!
No.17 (P) A.F.U - RAF Watton & later RAF Calveley
No.11 (P) A.F.U - RAF Calveley
2 A.A.P.C
- Anti-Aircraft Practice Camp, but i have not been able to find a location for this
54 MU - RAF Newmarket
100 ??
- I just can't make this one out.
Thanks Richard
P.S. Does that last column on the Image mean that he was occupying Married Quarters ?

17 (P) AFU and 11 (P) AFU -
The expansion of AFU is Advanced Flying Unit
54 MU is 54 Maintenance Unit
Could 241 xxxx possibly be 241 Squadron?
