I know that my uncle was in the RAF during WW2 and that he was stationed for some time at St Eval aerodrome Cornwall. I want to get his service record on behalf of his son but i have been unable to find any record online (for his service number). He was born on the 4th October 1916 and died on the 15th March 1975.
Will I be able to get his record without his number?

If he enrolled as an Other Rank then he will be probably listed in AIR78

However there is nothing to differentiate similar names.

Marriage certificates sometimes contain Service Numbers for Husband.

A service number is not needed to apply for a Service Record for a deceased service person.
