Looks like it to me.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

My father was posted to the RAF maintenance place in or hear Heywood; being disabled he didn't join up so worked on maintenance .... I think of aircraft ?   

I'm getting more interested !    Isn't it such a pity when all the people we could ask are long dead  :(

There was an RAF maintenance unit in Heywood and a barrage balloon place a little further down the road at Bowlee. The maintenance unit is now a distribution park but there area a few of the older buildings left now owned by the DWP. I drive passed it on my way to work sometimes, or Queens park if the motorway is bad.

This might be of interest...

Same website has an article about the opening of Queen's Park too.
