[ATTACH=CONFIG]235211[/ATTACH]Have found amoungst her papers (in pocket). A leave pass for 1945 from RAF Stanbridge. Also a train ticket from Bletchley to Leighton Buzzard…………..

So there is some good clues.

Maybe it’s the same J. Fielding SACW in 1964 http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafathletics/rafcms/mediafiles/7E2A3DE6_5056_A318_A86A0C42168E9F08.pdf

I recon that would make her 40 by 1964 I have documents to show her as a WAAF in 1945…………….

Thanks Ross

that’s really a good start…………….

Cheers

Well you can get her first name from AIR 78/55

This is free download from The National Archives.

Joyce – her card is marked militia.

Her service number was part of a batch for WAAF entry at Gloucester.

From here it’s FreeBMD to see if you can get Birth/Marriage and Death entries for the full name.
