Hi, My grandfather was an RAF Officer who served during WW2.. He began as a Pilot Officer and I believe flew in Greece, according to his autobiography and biography as a Flight Lieutenant. Im trying to track down his service record, or the squadron's logs or anything really as it seems a little challenging.

Hello Ned, As you say above, "trying to track down his service record" that is the first document to obtain in a case such as this, it will tell you much of what you want to know. Below give you an idea of how to go about it. Good luck with your research Regards Peter Applications for RAF personnel records from family members and other authorized persons RAF Disclosures Section Room 221b Trenchard Hall RAF Cranwell Sleaford LINCS NG34 8HB 01400 261201 (direct line 01400 268163) Ext 6711 Ext 8161/8159 (Officers) Ext 8163/8168/8170 (Other ranks) Obtaining service records for those who served in the Royal Air Force during world war 2 is more or less straightforward, but 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.
