Do you have his service number?

There are 7 records at the National Archives for Moon. Is this him? They are free to download if you sign up/in.

Thank you.
I've downloaded the information you've kindly given me ,but unfortunately it doesn't look like the same one . I'm beginning to think he wasn't in the RAF at all 😖

Thank you. Yes, that’s him.
He came from Hastings and went back there after the war. My husband remembers him well.
It does say on his marriage certificate that he is in the RAF but nothing more .
Thanks again
