Help understanding RAF service info, please

[SmallTownGirl]

Can anyone help decipher the Unit details from this RAF service record, please?

If possible, I'm particularly interested in where each Unit was based.

Many thanks

I think it reads

8 S of TT = School of Technical Training
13 and 30 MU = Maintenance Unit
8 (O) AFU = Advance Flying Unit
7 FIS = Flying Instructor's School
102 PDC = Personnel Dispatch Centre

oh, and Greenock somewhere in the middle!

15 Recruits Centre There was one in Canada as well! But of course must be Blackpool as posted by rafcommands

3rd from bottom is HFU - Home Ferry Unit  (A's were more distinct)

Useful acronym links - scroll halfway down

Canadian ones were the same - My father would have known many of these, having trained, then instructed before being sent overseas!

Were there two Monas? I thought Mona was on Anglesey and is still in use today as a relief landing ground for RAF Valley.

You have the correct Mona Crumblie - I was multi tasking and confused location with another F543 task.

Sorry for confusion.
