Upavon Great War records

Incidentally I have the Wings Over Wiltshire book so can copy the Upavon sections for you if required.

Thank you Sabrejet, Ex Brat & Resmoroh. That gives me a good starting point. Much appreciated.

I’m very grateful indeed for your response and particularly your time. I’ll follow up those leads.

WW1 records are few and far between (I see he was there June to October 1918): there’s what looks like a War Diary held by the National Archives (AIR 29/604) but from past experience this will contain only a potted history of pre-ww2 events.

My suggestion would be to contact the RAF Museum, which might hold his flying log book; ditto Leeds University Liddle Collection. You might also find records of some of the other units he was with (5 School of Aeronautics; Armament School, Uxbridge; No.3 Fighting School) but again from past experience it’s usually the case that those records don’t survive.
