I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Hi Ron

Thank you, so if the letter came from RAF  India to RAF Scotland  but it would first go to London for sorting  is that right, I don’t have the envelop so I really don’t know I just have the small Christmas greetings letter that was inside, the word Aprolon  written along the bottom,  many years ago someone said “they thought it  may be a code” but I am not sure I will try to get his war record and come back to the forum and let you know how I get on,   and thank  you everyone  for your help. I can’t enter his name  as he has living relatives so I may have trouble getting the records

Thank you all

Hello

The other type of sending images used by the Air Ministry / RAF was by Microgram. I have scans of 4 images reporting a WW 2 air crash sent by microgram of a printed RAF Flying Accident Form with the details typed in by the Originator and that looks like 4 small reduced photographs or photographic prints in the Recipients file and only just readable, too.

Not sure if and how they differed from Airgraph?
