A Quick Update on progress.

My ultimate aim is to obtain all 22 RAF service records - which are now free to obtain.

Two of the men died in service, and I've ordered their service records. For the remainder I can't obtain their service records unless I have their death certificates(£££).

I have identified the birth records of another 7, and hence their 1921 census entries. I should be able to find the death records for them.

The remaining 13 all have multiple possibilities for the birth record so it'll be a process of elimination. What I've been doing is eliminating any who appear in the 1939 Register, or died before 1939. But it's still not conclusive. And I have to take into account that some of the men might be Scottish or Irish.

I may have to wait until the service records are at the National Archives and available as downloads. If I live that long!
