Hi Alan,

Looking at the rank of your father he was in the RAF so his trades would be -

F Mech E - Flight Mechanic Engines
U/T F.2.E - under training for F.2.E
F.2.E was the advance level of an F Mech E

The first line of special qualifications looks to be an exam for possibly his AC1 (Aircraftman 1st Class) ?

As the entry above 48 MU  has the same date as the entry for 48MU perhaps it was an error.

The initials N E over what looks like 48/5 M V? are similar to those in the checked column of the 48 MU (or at least the N is) - does that make sense   :)

they indeed do give next of kin,pay is more tricky,it gives entitlement to war service increments but not actual wage figures
