Hi Rsel,

Looks like you got most of your answers. Just thought I would mention that there is a Facebook page for RAF Calvleley as I notice it appears in your Grandfather's log. I think it can be accessed without a login.

241 Sd. possibly Squadron? As suggested earlier.

However, Squadron is usually abbreviated Sqn or Sq. Sometimes Sqd.
