Hi, I'm new today to the site so please bear with me. I have another open post about 2825 squadron to which i've recieved a response (thankyou) I've recently recieved my grandfathers RAF service records and am struggling on the following entries if anyone can provide any help please. He was an AC2 gunner, service number 1490332. 3RC - (no.3 Padgate recruitment centre?) 16RC (?) 22RC (?) 33PTC (?) 59PTC(?) 2 RAFR S.DEPOT (?) 1 RAFR DEPOT (?) 11RC (?) Thankyou.
Hello, PTC stands for Personnel Transit Centre. This should assist you: RAF Ground Units - WARTIMES.ca Regards, Dave
Thanks Dave, that's really helpful. I've been trying to search online for the numbers etc but didn't get me very far. Michele.
No. 59 PTC: Personnel Despatch and Reception Unit: 59 Personnel Transit Centre, Italy; appendices... | The National Archives Don't see anything for 33. The handwriting on these records is somewhat atrocious.
Hi Michele, If you haven’t found the answer via google 3 RC at Padgate became the post war Bruche Police Regional Training Centre, Warrington, Cheshire. It closed down about 20 years ago and I understand that houses were built on the site. Steve
