I’d better amend my records with that new information too…not that I’ve ever managed to get any information from them as I’ve never been next of kin…will the information eventually be open to any researcher, say after 100 years does anyone know? Jack

Hi there, you could try

Royal Air Force Personnel Management Agency (PMA)

Obtaining service records for those who served in the Royal Air Force during world war 2 is more or less straightforward, but Innsworth will only divulge service information to the person to whom it refers or, if he or she has died to his or her immediate next of kin. Anyone else must obtain permission from the person about whom they are enquiring or from his or her next of kin, before any information will be given to them. In some cases the PMA make a charge of £30.00 for any information they provide. Except to the person to which it refers, or the widow or widower of that person.

To obtain service records you will need to write to:

PMA(Sec)1b(RAF)
Room 5, Building 248A,
RAF Personnel Management Agency
Raf Innsworth
Gloucester GL3 1EZ

Hope this helps

Thanks for the suggestion, we’ve got that and surprisingly enough even on there its only listed as W4270…I come to the conclusion it just didn’t have one…how odd.

Us girls were there, not with a Cockpit sadly, but with the ever growing story of Lancaster W4270 and her crew(may sound familiar to Peter). We had a great time in Hanger 2 with our display, met some fantastic people who were very helpful and advised us where to continue our research along different lines.

Hi there,

I was there on the Sunday with the Stirling Project so unfortunately missed your display. Is there anywhere on the web where we can find out more about the story?

cheers

John

Hi John,

There is nothing on the web unfortunately but I do have a folder on the computer with the information on, if I can work out how to do it, I’ll try and send it to you.

We didn’t know about the Hog Roast until it was too late..but it sounded great fun…and next year we WILL look round all the cockpits, as we realise we’ve really missed out!
