An RAF person of interest who trained in South Africa under the Empire Training Scheme wrote to his parents on 21 January 1942 and gave the following address for them to reply:
Service Number L.A.C. 'name'
Y X Y X . G.
RAF HQ c/o A.P.O. 1710
Any idea where this was, please

RAF Recruitment: Having passed the interview and medical to join the RAF VR in 1941, a civilian was accepted into the RAF, placed on reserve then sent back to civilian life with a lapel badge to await a space on the appropriate training scheme.
Can someone please give a description or show a photo of the badge?
Thanks

Ross, sorry to be a pain but can you explain what the two postings 1ACR? and ACDC (A) are all about.
I presume the abbreviation ACDC (A) is Air Crew Despatch Centre but unsure what (A) means.
Thanks in advance
Roy

Hi Ross
You asked if I got the mustering section of trades and dates? I'm not sure what this looks like.
I have attached another small section of the form I received and that's all of it.
Thanks for the links to AIR-54 - 172 and 182. I've gone through both but have not found any mention of Digby by name or service number.
Regards, Roy
